Nick/Phsst: I noticed a long time ago that I must left click THREE (3)
times at a location in the AA window to anchor the cursor and have it
where I want to type.
First click if coming from another window (another program).
Second click places the cursor at the very beginning of the AA window
(even if I have clicked down in the code)
Third click positions the cursor at the point of desired entry.
Try it. Three clicks.
Ken

Phsst,
You are not alone. I too have had this issue, and it is indeed
maddening. It wasn't always like this; this behaviour appeared
after one of the new beta's. I reported it at the time, but never
got a reply from anyone, so I've just been living with it, and trying
to be more careful.
So, while I can't help solve this, I can at least validate that it
isn't just you.
Best Regards,
NIck Molchanoff
