It seemed more natural to me that if I click ANYWHERE in any other pane I am now focused there.Perhaps you are right that scrolling not alter focus BUT I maintain re-sorting should. -- Rich Current version is 2.01.3 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Regarding the scroll bar, that behavior seems normal (and for me, desirable). Try it with two paned a Windows Explorer window. Manipulating the scroll bar will not cause the focus to change. Clicking on a column header to sort the file list will shift focus to the file pane however. In TB!, I often scroll the preview pane without wanting to shift focus away from the message list. -- George Using TB! 2.01.15 on Windows XP Pro 5.1, Build 2600, Service Pack 1.

Changing focus by clicking
Hi team. My default "The Bat!" display configuration consists of 3 panes: the list of all folders (vertical, along the left side) the list of messages (top, horizontally) the message preview (bottom, horizontally) Assume my focus is on, say, the message preview pane. When I click on either the scroll bar or the header to sort the folders or the messages the focus remains in the preview pane and not where I have just decided I want to start working. I can click to resort (or to scroll) and having done that one would assume that other pane is now where I intend to focus, but it doesn't switch. -- Rich Current version is 2.01.3 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
