Fields in a form that have errors lose focus on first key press

Fields in a form that have errors lose focus on first key press.

For example I have a form with 2 required fields, email and username, in that order. The email field also does regexp validation to enforce the email format. When I submit with both fields empty, they both get validation errors as expected. But when I try to fix email, as soon as I type a character the focus jumps to the next field with an error, username. Focus only stays in email after username is corrected. Then I can fix email as expected.

I hope that is a clear description.
Why does focus jump to the next error field on first key press?
Am I missing a configuration or something?

My form creation is very simple...

final DynamicForm form = new DynamicForm();
form.setDataSource(DataSource.get(DATA_SOURCE));
form.setFields(new FormItem("email"), new FormItem("username"));

thanks

This would happen if you had configured form-wide validation to run on every keystroke, since focus will jump to the first item that has an error. A combination of, for example, validateOnChange plus changeOnKeypress could do this.

OK. Fixed it. I had set the default for all forms to setValidateOnChange(true). Now it is setValidateOnExit(true) and I get the behavior I want.

Thanks!
