Try entering a bug in bugzilla: you'll end up with pretty flashing carets in
every text field you touch, and you'll have to type to figure out which one is
currently focused.

I'm using M12 on Win98 (!).

This is fixed, *except* between windows, which is a different bug already filed.

I still see this on Linux (GTK).  Reopening and changing platform.

Update: I can't reproduce it easily in Bugzilla, but I can get it every time
just by opening a new plain-text compose message.  I immediately get a flashing
caret in the first address field, and another in the message-compose area.

In Bugzilla, it seems to have been fixed on 1/20 sometime: I see it in the 1/20
build but not in the 1/21 build.  I still see it in message compose even on
1/21, though.

Okay, I think I have a fix for this if someone else is willing to test it before 
I check in, that would be great...

Incidentally, I think I fixed this while trying to fix another bug and failing. 
<sigh>

Okay, I think this is also partially editors/mails bug. If you click in the 
address field of the new message window and then click away to another window and 
come back, the address field *and* the message body have cursors. The address 
field still having a cursor is my bug, but the message body is some other bug.

I think I've fixed this, at least it is better in all the cases I've tried. 

NOTE: you can reproduce the problem if you go to another window. That is a 
different bug (and not entirely focus's fault). If you stay within the window, 
this is fixed as far as I know.

it's back - see bug 48398 and bug 48115
Could you please test against an M18 trunk build? I don't see any of the test 
cases on the trunk. 

NOTE: I think the bug is probably still there, I just need a test case in order 
to work on it
