Space bar triggers pushbutton

[donJ]

Hi

I have a document window with three push buttons and a canvas. The
canvas accepts key strokes and places letters into a crossword puzzle
grid. The space bar causes the action event of one of the bush puttons
to fire.

None of the buttons is set to be default.

1) Why does it pick one buttonand not another?

The fix was easy, in Canvas keydown, I put: if asc(key) = 32 then
return true

but I don't understand why this was necessary.

Linux 2016r4, Mint 18

Thank you for your time,

Don

I suspect that the button has the focus by default (which is not the same
as being the default button).

But I don't use Linux so I could be wrong.
