Focus problem in IE, when initally hidden

There is strange problem, only in IE, when loading
Editor and it is on hidden tab (folder).

JS error appears and it says that Control can not get focus, because it is not active or can not receive focus... (or something similar)

Problem is just in showing toolbar, but other part of editor works OK (adding text, CTRL-B,..). Also, when I set tab with Editor as default, everything is normal.

I post this as bug report, but maybe there is somebody who solved that problem. Any idea?

RE: Focus problem in IE, when initally hidden

I'd the same problem with this. It seems that the editor can't be instanciated correctly if not visible on the page (display:none or visibility:hidden). The best solution i found was to load the editor only when it become visible. here's my editor_load function:
<script type="text/javascript">
var ed_loaded = ";"; /* used to keep trace of loaded editors in case of multiple editors on the same page */
function ed_reload(name,tbar_set){
/* You must check that it wasn't create in the past to avoid multiple instanciation you can try to remove the 3 next line to see what i'm talking about. */
if( ed_loaded.indexOf(name,0)>0)
return;
ed_loaded += name+\':\';

var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor(name);
oFCKeditor.ToolbarSet = t_set;
oFCKeditor.ReplaceTextarea() ;
}
</script>

then only call the function ed_reload('Yourtextareaname','ToolbarSetName') when you showing your hidden tab work well for me
