So, prior to getting to that screen, you ensured that you were in : https://bug736811.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=631240 first.

Never have seen another behavior. So, prior to getting to that screen, you ensured that you were in : https://bug736811.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=631240 mode first. Right? If not, when you first open the mailnews window click on 'news.mozilla.org' to get to that state. > > When i press 'n' the focus jumps to a message in the threadpane which is > displayed in the messagepane. The cursor is still on the NG. Hartmut, this is a *Mouse* issue - focus eh? > > What do you mean with 'message display/compose box'? The messagepane? > The threadpane? After selecting m.s.seamonkey the threadpane is here Where do you normaly view your message text and or enter text for composition?

Thanks Hartmut for testing and attempting to assist. I always appreciate your help. However in this situation I think that we've a lack of communication in replicating the issue (most likely my fault for not spending time with a step-by-step), and definitely an issue with the last regarding linux distributions in testing. I can certainly bring up _any_ mainstream distro on bare metal; but I'm not about to do it to satisfy your 'test' environment. Now, I've demonstrated the issue in several of _my_ environments. A 3rd party (Ricardo) has graciously tested and replicated in his distro's environment. You can either test in any of those envronments, or we'll simply call it a draw & I'll thank you (again & seriously) for your help, and leave it at that. With Kind regards & thanks again for your efforts.
