Why does this edittext widget lose focus?

[Mat]

Yes, there have been a few other threads recently that comment on editors losing focus but I believe this question is different. Thus:

This wiki features a floating popup (via the $:/plugins/OokTech/CaretPosition plugin) that appears if you type ??s into the editor.

The popup contains <$edit-text tiddler="scribble"> i.e pointing to another tiddler (named "scribble").

Still, this edittext widget loses focus as soon as it is typed into.

How can this be prevented?

Thank you.

Your entire popup refreshes with every keystroke, not just the edit-text widget. Without looking at code, I would say you have a variable or filter that triggers the popup, that is re-evaluated with every keystroke.

Ah, that sounds reasonable. I'll have to ask the @Jedi master about his plugin. Thank you.
