The EZBoard and Shadowglen java-based chatrooms show similar behavior: when that
window loses focus and later regains it, the cursor will not be in the text bar.
 It is neccessary to click the text bar every single time.  This is not the case
in IE or Netscape of current versions.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch the window.
2. Type awhile, with the text appearing in the imput window by default.
3. Switch to another window.
4. Switch back to the java window, notice that typing will do nothing until you
mouseclick in the input bar.

Actual Results:  
Nuisance; often requires retyping the first line before I notice.

Expected Results:  
Place the cursor in the imput bar.

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
