Comment (by nikulinpi):

 Replying to [comment:8 deryni]:
 >you don't want there to be a text insertion cursor in the IM history pane
 (the part where you see the messages you and your buddy have already
 written)?

 Yes

 >You do realize that typing anything in that frame will make the focus
 jump to the text input box, right?

 Yes, I meaned some cases when swithing through tabs steals and locking
 focus on curosr in history pane until mouse click on something another

 >I think we added it specifically to *help* accessibility.

 We may use some mozilla like cursor behavior(F7 will turn on the cursor
 and jump cursor through history pane and input box)

 > I'm not at all sure how it breaks scrolling with the keyboard unless you
 mean that it takes longer to scroll because you are moving by line rather
 than scrolling the whole area immediately

 Yes
