Disable this, one after the other, and you will learn, where the problem
comes from.
CTVD is known as troublemaker with other programs.

Whoops.. I see I missed one of your steps. However, I still cannot repeat
your problem. Mine works just fine.

It's almost certainly Virtual Desktop - the combination of CTVD and PM
seems to cause all sorts of interface weirdness in PM (and FireFox, btw).
I'm also using both apps, and I've been hoping for a fix for this
for...hmm...quite a long time...

If only CTVD wasn't so damn useful :)

Isn't that the expected behavior? You had to put the focus on the Safari
window to move it over the message window, so the next keystroke would
naturally go to Safari.
Are you saying that you should not have to click the message BROWSER
window before clicking the message window? Mine works directly on the
message window.

By the way, OS X 10.3 is up to 10.3.8 now.
