Tomasz: you may disagree and you are the author of the program, but my
observation is when the focus is outside the AA window (in another
program not within AB itself), clicking three times may be necessary. I
just did it 10 times. With the focus on another window (say this email
window), the first click in the AA window brings the focus to the AA
window. The second click puts the cursor AT ITS PREVIOUS POSITION. If
this is where you want to type, then two clicks does it. If your mouse
cursor is positioned at a different point from the last location of the
edit cursor, then a THIRD click is necessary to begin entering text
where you want it.
Having done it for an 11th time with the same result, I still reserve
the right to be wrong as you are usually always right, but...who
cares....the original post said Phsst had problems with apparently only
one click. So...he should try two or three or four....but if the habit
is developed, one will not inadvertently enter text in the wrong
location.

Ken,
I have to disagree. At max. two clicks are be necessary ONLY if focus
is OUTSIDE of AFL editor. If focus is inside AFL editor - one click.
Best regards,
