I think this could possibly be a bigger issue Ben.

with the test app i made for Charlie i also added another TextBox and set
up Got and Lost focus handlers.
The TextBox controls did not trigger focus events either
and they are not even in containers
just a From , a ColorChooser and 2 TextBox's
(i just added a CheckBox to further test)

(i'll attach the simple app)

not getting Got or Lost focus on anything

NEW IMPORTANT DISCOVERY...   ( i think important )
If i run gambas as root.
Or if i run it via a link , just like the problem i am having with the IDE
text highlighting

the bug goes away.

all the best.
