Thanks for your response. That's most likely the same issue I 
encounter. I first realized that when opening the login panel of our 
database application. Clicking into one of the username, password,... 
fields did not make them firstResponder. When trying to type I just got 
beeps. Clicking wildly around finally got me the focus into the 
textfield (mostly, not always). I then experimented with Affiche, 
Ink.app,... and got similar issues there in NSTextView. I encounter 
this in 3-4 of 10 cases, so this is really a serious problem (renders 
my system unusable).

Regards,
