TextField that has focus pokes though a container

General

Things are progressing on my little project. Started working on enhancing the help function.

Moved most controls to a container control. When users get to a certain point a new container control will appear with the information they need.

The problem is that a textfield on the first container has focus. The blue focus ring shows through the new container (all the other controls disappear). Is this a bug?

I’ve solved the problem by making the first container invisible when the second appears, but it seems odd behavior.

Can you turn off the focus ring in the Inspector? Or alternatively, prevent tabbing to the control may do it too.

Edit: or make the textfield readonly?

Actually, hiding the first container isn’t a bad idea. This removes its controls from the active view, preventing the user from tabbing in to them (which would indeed be odd if they were obscured by the new container).

However, if the controls disappearing is weird, you could disable the first container via Enabled=false when the second one appears.

What I just tried: Added a new text field. It is placed just outside the container (does not show on screen). After entering the data in the available text fields, users must push a button to create a file. When they push the button, I set the focus to the “off-screen” text field. Appears to work.
