> What surprises me is that if you start out with focus on 3-pane's message list (instead of folder pane), you cannot move the focus there when account settings tab is shown.

STR:
> 1. In 3-pane, place focus in folder list, e.g. on first account.
- Instead of that, place focus in message list.
> 2. Open account settings (and look at the UI to see where the focus is)
> 3. press cursor down (repeatedly), expecting to select another account or subsection in account settings, and observe 3-pane tab-top
- nothing
- if you look at message list of 3-pane, focus did *not* move there either.

So the focus problem of fully active navigation in background 3-pane tab occurs only with initial focus on *folder list*, but plays out different with initial focus on *message list*, where nothing happens neither in accounts tab nor in 3-pane, so focus appears lost. Nevertheless, if you press tab two times, you'll get focus back into account settings tab. It's just confusing.

Furthermore:
- Accounts list in accounts settings will get focus ring border only when you've tabbed into it at least once, but not when you just click on an account directly.
- When moving focus to an input field of account settings content side: visual confusion of blue background focus color which remains on the account in the list as if that was also still focused, creating an impression of double focus.
Something for Richard.
