Updates: Status: Started Comment #2 on issue 870 by alexandr...(a)gmail.com: ROFocusView focuses on the wrong spot http://code.google.com/p/moose-technology/issues/detail?id=870 This is not an easy problem to solve apparently. Try the following: -=-=-=-=-= -=-=-=-=-= -=-=-=-=-= -=-=-=-=-= | node | node := view node: #a. view raw on: ROWindowResized do: [ :evt | ROFocusView new on: node view: view raw ]. -=-=-=-=-= -=-=-=-=-= -=-=-=-=-= -=-=-=-=-= This seems to do the thing, but if you resize the window, the view always focuses on the node. If you do not want to focus on the node when you resize, we could do: -=-=-=-=-= -=-=-=-=-= -=-=-=-=-= -=-=-=-=-= | node | node := view node: #a. view raw on: ROWindowResized doOnce: [ :evt | ROFocusView new on: node view: view raw ]. -=-=-=-=-= -=-=-=-=-= -=-=-=-=-= -=-=-=-=-= But this does not work since the romorph is resized 4 times when you open the roassal glamour-based easel.
