Set active element on parameter dialog box

Hi.
I've created report with 4 cascading parameters groups (with list boxes) and 1 simple text box parameter.
When I run the report and parameter dialog appears the cursor by default goes to the last field (which is text box) and I have to rewind dialog box to the beginning every time.
Is it possible to set the first element on the dialog box as active?
Please help.

Regards,
Max

Hi Max,

If I create a cascading parameter and a regular text box parameter and run the report, the first drop down box is the default item. Are you by chance running your reports on a MAC?

The problem is very strange and and can't find any solution. I design reports on WinXP and then deploy it to apache-tomcat.
Viewer Version : 2.3.1
Engine Version: 2.3.1

I've tried different combinations with parameters but problem usually starts when using cascade parameters.
The first element on the parameter box is not always active.

I attached print screen to show exactly what I mean.

I'm afraid that in my case the only solution is to move active text-box as first parameter on the list.

Max

Max, 
 
That is odd. I have heard of something like that happening when running a BIRT report on a MAC, but not in any other case. You may check out the bugs at <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/reportabug.php'>BIRT: Reporting Bugs and Requesting Enhancements</a> and see if anything has been reported on this. If not, you could file a bug and see what they say. Be sure to include screenshots, a good description, and possibly a report design that shows the issue from the sample database. Please post any bug info you find or create in here for future reference. Thanks.
