Focus border on buttons [message #443556]

Hi,

I've noticed that buttons tend to not always paint the dotted lines (the
focus border) around buttons at all times.

Sometimes it does, and other times it doesn't - I can't seem to determine
why it does, thought Alt-Tab'ing under Windows does seem to redraw the
button focus borders most times.

Is this something that is known - I'm having trouble knowing what to search
for so I'm not sure if its in the previous lists.

Update!! - I've now noticed the borders show up when I press down the ALT
key... I didn't think that was normal XP behaviour but I'm now thinking it
might be... is that the case ?

This is normal XP behavior and can be turned on or off from the Control
Panel.
