While rewriting the nevigation and selection section of the OHM, i discovered a glaring omission: the inability to highlight the cursor at its current location. The Active Row color only shows the ROW where the input will be entered but not the field. Should the cursor get "lost" (usually because input focus was put somewhere else), even toggling back and forth from the Order List doesn't help. A new user can devise a workaround, such as pressing arrow up and arrow down quickly, but what i'm attempting to do is show how using the PE can be completely keyboard driven. We can go from the Patterns page header to the PE (press Tab -- but we can't go back, though other functions have shortcuts), we can switch from PE to Order List and vice versa, and we can even go to other tabs from the PE. But we're outta luck if we're want to know what our next input into the PE is and the cursor is hidden or simply hasn't been redrawn/refreshed.
It seems this would be a very basic function, which is why i don't want a new user to resort to a workaround like the one i described...
