Hi,
Here is a bug in topic++ browser.
- Click the topic tree on the left to move keyboard focus there.
- Press cursor down to move to the next topic.
- See that the main (richtext) widget of the topic browser *also* processed the cursor down because it scrolled down one line.

Even stranger things happen when you press page down while the tree has the keyboard focus: The keyboard focus indication disappears and the richtext gets scrolled.

And there is more: Scroll down a topic in the richtext window a bit. Now start pressing page-up. It first scrolls up by pages. Once it reaches the top of the richtext, the tree gets the keyboard focus in the last line of the tree. If the last line of the tree points to a topic, then the current topic is changed to that one. Just because you pressed page-up.

I don't know if this has any connection with the "feature" that several tree and list widgets in the TheIde are unable to get the keyboard focus. For example the Assist Browser (Ctrl-B). I would like that to receive keyboard focus so that I can use my keyboard for scrolling through the methods or classes displayed there.

There is one more thing that is probably not a bug but annoys me. Here is how to reproduce it: You expand the tree by opening every group. Now click on the first topic, and try to go through every topic by pressing the cursor down. There is one magical topic (CtrlLib Widgets) that moves the keyboard focus up 6 lines once you reach it. So you can not use the cursor to go to a topic after that one. Annoying.
