If a patcher has multiple identical bpatchers (each containing a textedit control), there seems to be some bizarre behaviour occurring regarding control focus changing.

My system is Win 10 Professional 64-bit, and Max 7.3.5 (be88c5a) (64-bit windows) Full Licence. I'd be interested to know if anyone notices similar behaviour or knows of a workaround.

- Highlight the text in each of the text boxes

Issue #1: Multiple text boxes can have highlighted text within the same window. It's as if the 'lost focus' event in the textedit control code isn't being fired or isn't doing the expected thing.

- Then, click any other control in any of the bpatchers

Issue #2: For me, only the fourth textedit control text became un-highlighted. The rest remained highlighted. Again, it seems that the 'lost focus' event isn't firing on the other three textedit controls.

Text staying highlighted when textedit loses focus - possible bug?
