Initial focus on a form is lost due to the SC menus non-standard behavior

I already complained about the way SC menus won’t close the drop down area automatically when a user click on a menu item.
(see here)

A “nasty” side-effect happens when a menu item will open a form set to start with focus on a field. [LIST=1]

  • User click on menu item and don't move the mouse
  • SC loads the the form
  • SC sets the focus on a field (as per the form settings)
  • User move the mouse away from the menu dropdown area
  • SC closes the menu drop down and... focus on the field is lost!
  • User has to click on the field that was supposed to have focus automatically [/LIST] Note the focus is not lost if the user click on the menu item and immediately move the mouse away from the dropdown area.
