Hi Steph,

Are you referring to a case where you have hidden gok? (i.e. selected 
the hide key)

Whenever there is a window activation event GOK warps to its main 
keyboard (and checks the window GUI for accessible menus, toolbars etc.) 
We could perhaps not do this in the case when GOK has been hidden... but 
it is important that the user experience consistency. I'm not sure we 
would gain much either. Suppose the user has hidden GOK to do some 
reading and a dialog pops up... wouldn't it be best to have GOK ready 
for use to dismiss the dialog? Sorry if I have misinterpreted your problem.

Are you using gok in "docked" mode?

We could implement this but I'm not sure we should. Could you explain 
the advantage?
