I'm sure it is!

Don't know, but I think you should.

After a bit of play, I found that a 'focus before you opened the next
window seemed to clear the bug. (At least on Amiga.) Try this...
view layout [
a: area 100x25 ; Note the addition of 'a for 'focus to focus on.
button "Next" [
focus a unfocus
view/new layout [
field head "Name"
area "Some text"
]
]
]
The 'unfocus is optional with regards to clearing the bug. It also
seems it doesn't matter what you focus on - placing the 'a in the
/new layout works just as well...
lo: layout [
a: field head "Name" ; 'a here now.
area "Some text"
]
view layout [
area 100x25
button "Next" [
focus a unfocus
view/new lo
]
]
Hope this works for you too...
