Automatic positioning of cursor in Subject field

I've just noticed that, since moodle.org has been using version 1.8, when posting forum messages, the cursor is automatically positioned in the Subject field.

This is fine when you are posting a new discussion topic, since it makes it clear that you have to type a Subject for your message before proceeding to typing the text of your message.

However, when you are replying to a discussion topic, that automatic positioning is not a good thing. Normally you do not want to change the Subject of that discussion, you JUST want to type your Message text immediately. Before I noticed this new behavior (1.8 version), I did not understand why, after clicking in the HTML editor and starting to type the text of my reply message, after I had typed a few letters or words, the cusor unexpectedly moved to the Subject field and I was now typing the rest of my message in that field.angry

Have you noticed this? Does it bother you too? If so, you can vote for bug report MDL-8882.

Bump.
Looks like not so many people are disturbed by this cursor positioning (it must be me sad). If you are, you can still vote for bug report MDL-8882.

Hi Joseph,

On a test site the cursor was at the end of the text in the subject field. When I clicked in the HTML editor and started typing it stayed there.

When replying here the cursor was not in the subject field. In fact I had to position the cursor n either field or text area to commence typing.
