When composing a message to someone, having the first address already inserted,
and being in the process of writing the message body, I cannot go back up and
insert further addresses.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start composing a mail message, with a first addressee (e.g. by reply)
2.Start putting text into the message body
3.Backing up to the additional recipient fields, either by the mouse or with
Shft-Tab

Actual Results:  
The field where the additional address would go does not accept any input
(instead the input remains in the main message body field)

Expected Results:  
allowed me to add further recipients

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

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.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
