4.2.5 (Sep 2006)
onBeforeActiveLost event enhanced
Now an onBeforeActiveLost event has a "cause" property which will contain the name of the underlying event that caused active focus to transfer to another component (e.g."onMouseDown"). In addition, the event will include all the parameters that would have been on that cause event.
Table Sorting of Heavyweight components is improved
Four defects were resolved to facilitate using heavyweight components in tables and preserving the sorting functionality. Heavyweight components will now sort based on their text attribute value, the default sort value for table cells. Heavyweight components do not support the sortValue attribute that cells support which allows cells to sort on a different value than the displayed text.
Rich Text enhanced to facilitate editing of rich text and dynamic application of rich styles to text
Numerous defects were resolved around textArea and richText. These fixes make it possible for developers to implement some WYSIWYG-like features to editable fields in their applications.

Special Notes
5356 - 712-1993766 Add text alignment attributes for comboBox and listBox
- comboBox changes: alignHorizontal and alignVertical were added as attributes.
- listBox changes: alignHorizontal was added to align all the listitems for the listbox. ListItem already had its own alignHorizontal which will overide the setting of the listBox. For example, if the listBox was set to alignHorizontal="right" and one listItem was set to alignHorizontal="center", then all the listItmes but the one with alignHorizontal="center" would be right aligned, while the one with alignHorizontal="center" specified will be center aligned.
5907 - 712-2531791 client UI freezes waiting for com.nexaweb.client.svg.Text.class in MSJVM
Sometimes using a Microsoft JVM, the client will freeze while waiting for the server to send the class com.nexaweb.client.svg.Text. This class file is contained within the NexawebClient-OnDemand.jar file on the server. The Server's dynamic classloader loads classes out of this jar as the client needs them. However, in this case, the client JVM is not working correctly. A successful workaround has been to make a NexawebClient-OnDemand.cab, and include it in the pre-loaded client classpath in the nexaweb-client.xml file. The fix for this defect is including NexawebClient-OnDemand.cab as part of the platform distribution.
<client-classpath>
<pre-loaded-in-applet-def>
<archive name="NexawebClient-OnDemand.cab" cab="true"
path="/WEB-INF/Nexaweb/client/lib/NexawebClient-OnDemand.cab"/>
</pre-loaded-in-applet-def>
</client-classpath>

Previously, the width of a table was divided equally among all table columns in the generated PDF. Now tables columns should render in the PDF at their preferred width which will result in better word wrapping behavior when printing tables to PDF.
