1007.0. "Why 2 lost_focus callbacks in stext with TAB? " by AIDA::CARCANO () Fri Jun 23 1989 10:59

When TAB is used to circulate among simple text widgets, it happens that the
callback associated to the lost_focus reason is called twice: why this? 

Now, I read note 95 in the DECWINDOWS_PROGRAMMING conference where Rob 
asks the same question and gives himself an answer that I don't understand: 
he says that "...one callback is a NotifyGrab and the other is a
NotifyWhileGrabed...".

Why the lost_focus reason is separated into "elementary" events? And why this
happens only when the focus is moved using the TAB key and not when the mouse
is used?

Thanks a lot,

Matteo.
