Just in case I tried changing window managers in case it was a focus thing but no luck, definitely an evolution thing. I think this is a major clang. An easier example is the following: 1. new mail 2. click in the To: input box 3. click in the Cc: input box 4. click in the Bcc: input box 5. click in the Subject: input box 6. click in the data input box In all cases the cursor followed except between 5 and 6 where the cursor also stayed in the subject box. No amount of patience seems to move it!! ;) Just wanted to make sure I wasn't alone on this one..
