RE: mar291444 seamonkey win32 build on win_nt 4.0
Hardware: HP X86, family 6 233 MHZ and 32 MB
Problem:  When I move the cursor over the compose window and do a right click,
the cursor focus fails to come up. Click on the Send button, no response.

1. Run apprunner.exe
2. Select Messenger from the Tasks menu to bring up the 3 pane message window
3. Click on New Message to bring up the Compose window
4. Type in the To, CC and subject - no problem
5. Bring cursor over the compose area, and do a right click, cursor focus does
not come up.
Actual result:  Unable to type text in the Compose area. When click on the Send
button, message does not send. (even though the DOS window says SendMessage!)
Expected result: I should be able to type text in the compose area. And when I
click on the Send button, I should be able to send the mail message even though
there is no content in the compose window.  This problem does not exist in the
previous builds.

Fenella, do you have to do a right click for this bug to show up?

Comment 2

Lisa, yes, I do. Because the cursor focus does not show up in the compose area
in seamonkey, I have to do a right click to ensure the focus is there. This
reminds me to write a bug for the cursor focus problem.

Sounds like an editor problem. Reassigning to kostello.

I'm not sure what the problem is here? Why the right-clicking? If you left-click
in the editor part to give it focus, can you type then?

We know there are focus issues, which belong to XP Toolkit, but I'm not sure
how they impact this probelm.

Reassign to ducarroz to figure out what this bug is about.

Send works fine for me with today's build. We still have a focus issue with the
cursor into the body area. Fenella, you should fill a bug for that and assign it
to Editor

Send works.  Mark it verified.
