Woo, thanks.
I had a logic bug in the "find next non-deleted" message code, that
would search for the wrong one if you have threads. Just committed

fwiw, i'm using the latest cvs gal, and focus is working for me -
although it jumps around a bit before working out where to sit, it does
seem to get it right.
