I created a stepfile for RHEL5 and what I'm seeing is that one of the screens I captured in stepmaker ended up having a focus ring around something and on replay the focus isn't there. This situation isn't something that a new algo will fix as you pointed out. I'm wondering if this is something you've seen. I don't quite understand how it would happen since stepmaker and the replace send the same keystrokes. I also don't see how in general this can be avoided. -- Ryan Harper Software Engineer; Linux Technology Center IBM Corp., Austin, Tx ryanh@us.ibm.com
