Describe more clear as following:
Actual Results:
I mean that if after open the compose window, you will see two cursors display 
on the address pane & message body....if just type the first Recipient's address 
right away without focus that field first, the address will display on the msg 
body!! 

Expected Results: 
Shouldn't have two cursors displayed two places, and type in the first 
Recipient's address right away without focus that field first, the address 
should display on the right field on the address pane.

Ok, much better. I will reassin this but to buster for investigation. We still have some activation problem with edit 
fields.

Comment 8

[Jean-Francois Ducarroz]

On Mac, we have an different but similar problem:
1) New Message
2) Type first recipient address (everything fine)
3) press return
4) >>> now a new recipient row has been added, but both recipient edit fields have a blinking cursor. However, the 
input still goes into the first edit field.

Window doesn't have those problems.

sounds like a dup of several hyatt/saari focus bugs.  Assigning to chris.

Comment 10

[Karen Huang]

Yes. I saw this problem on yesterday's Mac mozilla build on address pane, too.
Change OS/Platforms to All.

Comment 11

[saari (gone)]

Yeah, this is a dup of a couple other M14 bugs

Comment 12

[saari (gone)]

Looks like I just fixed this

Marking verified.
New message compose initial focus is indeed in first address line.
Other mention of duplicate flashing cursors not existing in this simple state.
There are a couple other duplicate flashing cursor bugs out there for specific
cases involving Tabbing from field to field and changing headers, so I will
consider this bug report verified/closed.

OK using 2000-02-25-08 commercial linux rh6.0
OK using 2000-02-25-15 commercial NT 4.0
OK using 2000-02-25-12 commercial mac OS 9.0

OK in both plain text and html compose windows.
