    Default Weird ToolPanel Behaviour

    Hi,

    We have a simple ToolPanel that floats about within the application for quick access items and is unrelated or scoped to any views.

    The ToolPanel is dynamically created and activate from the (CJ)ToolBar

    The problem we are having is this:

    If the ToolPanel is activated when there is a current view then it seems that the toolpanel is 'related' or scoped to the current view. And if you click on the toolpanel - it activates the 'scoped' view before taking focus !?

    How do we stop this?

    Scenerio


    1. Activate View A
    2. Activate View B
    3. Activate ToolPanel from Toolbar
    4. Activate View C
    5. Activate View D
    6. Click on ToolPanel
      1. View B to activated or "Entering_Scope" is issued
      2. ToolPanel takes focus


    Note


    1. If the Toolpanel is activated before any views then it remains 'unscoped' and works the way we want it. But we cannot rely on the user activating the toolpanel before any views.
    2. The issue is not SO bad when in a non-tabbed workspace - in a tabbed workspace the entering_scope is really noticeably



    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks
