This will not work in a window that acts "palette-like". This is controlled by
the WindowClickSelect option. On some platforms, you can make a notebook that
looks like a palette but doesn't act like a palette, if that would solve your
problem. The relevant options...
WindowFrame (* determines what the border looks like *)
WindowFloating (* determines the floating behavior of windows *)
WindowClickSelect (* determines whether typical menu and keyboard actions
will work on the window *)
Note that there are some permutations of combinations which can cause problems
here. As I recall, on Mac, you can't split apart the WindowFrame palette
setting from the WindowClickSelect palette behavior (and, in v7, neither from
WindowFloating->True, although that, as Rob pointed out yesterday, was an
unintentional bug). Also, on all platforms, I believe, WindowFloating->True
plus WindowClickSelect->True can lead to problems.
