Hi everyone:   The application's screen has 5 BasicEditField 's

Before submitting the data, the user may want to edit one of the entries.

When scrolling  UP        with the trackball, the cursor appears  AFTER THE LAST char in the field.

When scrolling  DOWN with the trackball, the cursor appears  AT THE FIRST        char in the field.

This inconsistancy causes new users to make errors -- is there a way to have it behave the same in both directions?

Thanks.

You might try setting of a FocusChangeListener and explicitly setting the cursor position at '0' when the field get's focus.

See FocusChangeListener and BasicEditField.setCursorPosition()

Thank you Rex:

I used             xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.setCursorPosition(0)         xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx being the name of this particular BasicEditField   and 0 the offset

instead of      BasicEditField..setCursorPosition()          

                                                                                        Now it works the same going up or down
