General Software Discussion / Re: Back again: focus flicker ...

Sorry to be so dilatory in responding ... slight medical emergency, ER visit(s), mostly age-related junk, kinda got in the way. Funny, but ERs aren't too wild ab. having a laptop in use <sigh />. And it was a no-no in the room, as well.
OK, back to the flicker.
Flicker may occur once, twice, or many times - as high as ten, so far - and while it usually flickers back to the previous focus, that is not always the case. In a significant number of instances, there was no visual evidence of the element that grabbed the focus. When flicker occurs, it can actually interrupt a pre-copy (mouse drag) highlighting in progress - ! - as well as affect keyboard input. I've pretty much given up on a cure, save through serendipity. However, I will continue to post [new] symptoms as they occur. Will also post a resolution should one evince itself - not hopeful, though.
