AHA! Karsten, you're a genius! It never even occurred to me that it might be another open page; for some reason I kept thinking it was a WM issue even though the window itself doesn't lose focus. Stupid. But, I'll bet you anything you're right: the Netlock VPN client I was mentioning brings up a status page after you log in, and it will automatically refresh itself every so often with new values for number of packets transmitted, blah blah blah. I usually just leave that thing open in another tab in Galeon. That's certainly one difference between my home system and work systems: I'm obviously never running the VPN client on my work systems. I'll try closing that window after I log in and see if the problem still occurs. Still, I wish Mozilla would not lose the focus like this when a refresh occurs. That seems like a bug (or at least an enhancement request...) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
