In all screens, active page goes inactive after 35
seconds. I have to click on the screen in order to type
or use the mouse wheel to scroll up or down the page.
Does it again after another 35 seconds. Screen just won't
stay active any longer than 35 seconds.

Please help Dave

Dave,

In order for an application to become inactive (lose focus), some
other application must become active (grab focus). Any idea what is
grabbing focus?

The next time this happens, see what has grabbed focus. If you can't
easily identify the focus grabber, Alt-Tab will bring you back into
your application. Now, Alt-Tab again, but keep the Alt key held down.
That should refocus on the focus grabber, and its name and icon should
be there in front of you.

If the focus grabber isn't another active application, it's probably
popping up in the tooltray. Is the taskbar visible? SWI Forums will
help you in that case.
