| | Window Focus bug Vista often looses track of which window should have focus - so that if you're using the keyboard & despite message box having focus you can't type in it - you have to go back to mouse and click on the window Any fixes for this on the horizon? It does my head in |

| | Re: Window Focus bug I agree with Dark Sentinel. This does not happen with me at all. I have gone hours without Vista losing focus on anything. So there has to be something on your setup that is causing this issue. -- ~Alex T~ ..:MVP Windows Shell/User:.

| | Re: Window Focus bug The OP and you are both right in a weird way. Vista NEVER loses the focus. But it does happens to me. Certain things we do not register in our mind because they is very routine. It appears that your focus is supposed to be on the editor but you've already clicked something else and do not even remember this. Of cause, OP does not understand it. Everyone blames Vista.
