Description

I am using the following code to open a modal window and set the focus to the nameField:

AjaxButton btn = new AjaxButton("btnNew") {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

@Override
protected void onSubmit(AjaxRequestTarget target, Form<?> form)

{ ModalWindow modalNewDefinition= new ModalWindow("mymodal"); NewDefinitionPanel p = new NewDefinitionPanel( ...); modalNewDefinition.setContent(p); modalNewDefinition.show(target); target.focusComponent(p.getNameField()); }

}

AjaxRequestTarget#.focusComponent works fine with Wicket 1.4 but ist has no effect with Wicket 6.18.
WICKET AJAX DEBUG shows:

....
INFO: returned focused element: [object HTMLInputElement]
INFO: returned focused element: [object HTMLInputElement]
INFO: focus set on inNnameField from server side
INFO: Response processed successfully.
INFO: Calling focus on inNnameField

The information "INFO: focus set on inNnameField" is however missing and the focus is not set.
