Hello Hrvoje, I have played with widget activation/deactivation a bit. Here is what I found: push-buttons appear inactive after being re-activated until any push-button is pushed again. Can you reproduce this bug? In tty-mode there is no visual distinction between active and inactive widgets. I don't know whether the interface can be improved to provide this feedback on tty. What are your thoughts on this? Here is a testcase which I derived from the widget-example in the info docs for Widget under emacs-version "21.0 \"Pygmy\" XEmacs Lucid (beta37)".
