I have a continuous form with some long text fields that are displayed in not-too-big text boxes. For users to be able to see their fully entered text, they double click the text box, which triggers the DblClick event that makes a pop up window open, allowing them to read and edit the text in a more user friendly way. There is a button to close the popup form.
Once closed, the original "popup-calling" textbox (within the particular record of the continuous forms) has one or more words highlighted (because it was double clicked and double clicks highlight text.)
Users have complained that they do not notice the highlighted letters and start typing, which causes them to unintentionally delete text they don't even realize they are deleting.
How can the highlighted text be un-highlighted to keep the user's focus on the textbox of this specific subform record without causing unwanted text deletion.
I have tried re-setting the focus to the beginning of the textbox, but the closing pop-up does not seem to re-trigger anything on the original form that called it.
