Steps to reproduce:
Select a message.
Click on Reply
Actual results:
Cursor moves to To: field instead of Body.
Expected results:
Cursor has always started in Body. Recently, it changed to To: field. The To: field is the wrong one, and a disturbing change, as, over many years, I'm used to typing in the Body as soon as the compose window opens. Instead of keeping my mental train of thought on the reply that I want, I have to erase what I typed, because it's being interpreted as a To: address, get my hand off the keyboard, find the mouse, move the cursor into the body, click inside the body. Then I have to recall my train of thought.
This change, moving the initial cursor position from the Body to the To, is a big break in productivity, as I have to put up with the petty change to the cursor position.
If somebody thought it was useful to change the initial cursor position to the To: field, then maybe it should be a configuration setting, with a separate initial position setting for New messages vs Reply vs Forward.
