Description Joe Drew 2002-07-25 00:15:05 UTC 
I think a fix for bug 88869 has made undesirable focus changes. If I click
in an article and then press 'n', and then try to navigate an article with
the keyboard arrows, the thread list moves up and down. (I'd expect that
clicking in the article pane would make that what has focus permanently.)

Also, there is now a blinking cursor in the article pane (which controls
how the article is scrolled); I found it more convenient when there was no
cursor and the article simply scrolled with the arrows. (If you mix
keyboard and mouse, now, scrolling gets inconsistent, because scrolling
with e.g. the mouse wheel doesn't move the cursor.)

Thanks.

The blinking cursor is now gone in CVS.  Thanks for suggesting that.

As for the focus issue: I don't think there's a way for the 'read next
unread' function not to grab focus, but I'll have to defer to Charles
on this one.

Every time we leave focus in the body pane people yell loudly,
so I think this is a case where we're no going to be able to make
everyone happy.

Marking fixed for the blinking cursor.  You may want to appeal
to the pan-users mailing list and see if you can get more people
to request the focus behavior.... :)
