What were you trying to do?
Write an e-mail message using entries in the address
book to populate the To: field. I type the first
few letters of the contact's name, then select the
name from a drop-down list.
What's wrong:
After selecting a name, the program will not always allow
the typing focus to move out of the address field by
clicking with the mouse. Clicking in the message body
will move the insertion pointer, which will blink, but
when characters are typed, they appear in the most
recently used To: or Cc: line. Hitting return seems to
finally force the typing focus to the next field. This
behavior is inconsistent--most of the time the focus
changes correctly--making this problem doubly irritating
when it occurs.
What should have happened:
The typing focus should have moved to where the mouse button
was clicked in the body of the message.
