(speedbar-get-focus) loses focus when run 1st time?

The following message is a courtesy copy of an article that has been posted to comp.emacs.xemacs as well. Hi, I'm using speedbar 0.8.1 (with XEmacs 21.2.13 under NT). I have bound speedbar-get-focus to the F2 key. The problem is - when I press F2 while the speedbar frame has not been created yet, it flashes briefly, but immediately after the main frame is reselected. When there already *is* the speedbar frame, all works well - i.e. F2 toggles between the two frames. A weird thing is - if I M-x speedbar-get-focus RET, it works as expected even the 1st time... Is somebody else experiencing this? Any advice on how to fix it/where to look? Thanks. -- Cheers, -Dima.
