Linux Redhat 6.0 (1999-12-02-08 M12) Win_nt 4.0 (1999-12-02-11 M12) Mac (1999-12-02-12 M12) Steps: 1. Launch Messenger using the -mail option 2. Open the Compose window by New Msg button 3. Type in the email address in the first To: field, press Enter 4. Notice that cursor focus is now set to the second line of the addressing field. 5. But I want to use the left mouse click to set focus in the Subject field Actual result: Notice cursor is unable to set focus in the Subject field. I had to press Tab first before it can set focus in the Subject field Expected result: I should not have to use the Tab key first in order for it to set focus in the Subject field. In Nova, I can use the left mouse click to set focus in the Subject field This occurs on all 3 platforms.

This is really, really annoying. I'm going to mark DOGFOOD.
Apparently, if you click in the right portion of the subject edit field, you can activate it.

With a tree pull around 10 pm, everything about forms element activation is back in order. I can now correctly set the focus into the subject edit field. I cannot find which check in has fixed the problem!

Verified as worksforme using the following builds: ftp://sweetlou/products/client/seamonkey/windows/32bit/x86/1999-12-07-16-M12/sea monkey32e.exe ftp://sweetlou/products/client/seamonkey/unix/linux_glibc/2.2/x86/1999-12-07-15- M12/netscape-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz ftp://sweetlou/products/client/seamonkey/macos/8.x/ppc/1999-12-07-16-M12/NSMacIn staller-M12.sea.bin I tested this bug under plain text editor and html mail editor. On Mac, I noticed that you had to click twice in order to set focus. The first click select the field but did not set focus. I'll log a separate [PP] on this. On win32 and Linux, this did not occur.
