Subject: losing focus
Hi,
This happens most often in Mail but it also shows up often enough
in textEdit to warrant a mention.
When, in Mail, I send, close or delete an open message I
occasionally find myself back in the message list where I would
expect to be. In textEdit if I Command+TAB I also find myself back
where I'd guess I belonged. The operative word above is
"occasionally" as, more frequently than not, I find myself in some
random location in the message list, sometimes in the mailbox list
and in textEdit, sometimes on the close or minimize button.
I have all of my cursors tracking each other but that's been the
case for months.
When we added our new iMac 24 to our collection, I moved my music
collection off of my MacBook 13 with its puny hard drive and onto
a terrabyte external hanging off of the iMac. Oddly, freeing up a
bunch of HD space seems to have made my focus problems worse.
In Mail, I now expect to find myself in some random spot in the
message list but it's getting very frustrating as, if I take a
phone call on my land line that lasts long enough for something odd
to happen, it will and I'll need to jump through hoops to get back
to my spot in an often long and important email.
Also, using VO+L will often read a random line far from my caret.
Any help will be deeply appreciated.
