When I forward an email, why the cursor now automatically jump to the message body instead of the TO field??? This is really dumb.

Previously, when trying to forward a message, the cursor landed in the TO field, which makes perfect sense. Now, it lands on the message body field, which is often not necessary. You then have to move the cursor back up to the TO field. This is extremely counterintuitive!

    exactly right..what is the reasoning behind this DUMB IDEA of the cursor jumping to the message text area when it used to properly appear in the TO area.

    the feature enhancements stink. now all email drop down to body of email and then I have to go back to the top and choose a person

    when I forward a message, the cursor appears briefly in the To recipient field but always jumps immediately to the main body text field.
    I always have to return the cursor to the recipient field to enter the email address.
    every email needs a recipient address so that's where the cursor should go by default.
    I have told you this months ago and you said you are aware and are fixing it.
    MONTHS AGO. so you're not fixing it really.

    why did you chsnge this? it should go to the " to" section not to the message body section each time I forward or reply!

    Ever since some kind of an update a couple of months ago, when forwarding an email, or starting one, the cursor now goes straight to the body area. Why??? The user is now forced to go back up and enter the recipient. That should be automatic!

    when writing an e-mail the Cursor always jumps to the text field and not in the recipient field where to put my e-mail address of the recipient, very annoying.

    a recent update has placed the cursor position in the body of a message when forwarding a message. please can it be moved back to the to field ?
    thanks
