Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021211
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021211

When opening mail from for example your inbox and the message is viewed in a
seperate window, the window doesn't get keyboard focus (initially). One first
has to mouseclick on the message to make for example the cursors (up/down) work. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a message from your inbox
2. Try to use the cursors to navigate through the email
3. Observe that you first have to click on the message to make it work.

Actual Results:  
The cursors don't move the page.

Expected Results:  
The cursors should move the page (without first having to mouseclick on the message)

Same with
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

This happens not only when message is displayed in seperate window
but also in message window of 3pane layout.

O.k. in 3pane layout keyboard focus only moves from headers to message window
when explicitely requested with a click. No reason to worry about that, sorry.

Still request to correct seperate window behaviour.
