No Textbox can take the focus by mouse clicking in IE8

[AlexF]

I have a problem in GWT 2.0.4 that I can reproduce only with IE8
(Windows XP). I use a TabPanel with IFrames in the tabs. When I close
a tab which has an element with focus no TextBox in other tabs can
take the focus by mouse clicking (but only by Tab-Key). If the closed
tab did not have a focused element the problem does not occur. I tried
to use TabLayoutPanel but it did not help. What can cause such
behavior in the web browser?

Alex, do you have a standalone sample that can be attached to a new
bug report?

Any solution to this since it was posted more than a year ago? I am running into the exact same issue.

Hi,
I had a similar issue. I use a RichTextArea (which uses an IFrame) inside a TabPanel. When I close the TabPanel I could not click into other widgets (focus broken(?))

I solved this issue by using "richTextArea.getFormatter().removeLink();" whiledestroying the TabPanel. (The removeLink triggers some stuff inside the RichTextArea. I think u could use another formatter method here)

Perhaps Its not an "exact" answer to your issue but perhaps someone else could use this info to solve his problem.
