Ah, I didn't pay close enough attention to the question you were asking. I
thought you meant the app wasn't running or the field wasn't showing up. The
TextArea component doesn't get mouseClick events, even if the field is not
editable. If it is getting mouseClick events on Linux then that is
platform-specific and doesn't make much sense to me.

On Windows, the sequence of events when you click the mouse in the field is:

mouseDown
gainFocus
mouseUp

with perhaps some mouseMove or mouseDrag events thrown in if you move the
mouse rather than just clicking.

You can see the events by using the Message Watcher, use a -m command-line
option when you start your application. You can also start the app with any
of the other runtime tool options other than logging (-l) and then you can
select Message Watcher from the Debug menu. If you are using the codeEditor
or resourceEditor, they have a Run Options... dialog under the File menu to
enable any of these options and then you use File-> Run or File->Run with
interpreter to launch your app using those options.
