irritating problem

    Apologies for the vague title ...

    Say, for example, I am using Outlook, create a new message and begin typing the recipient's name in the To: field. Outlook immediately brings up a little window with a list of auto-completed email addresses. On a normal PC or terminal services session, I can continue to type, and the autocomplete changes to suit.

    With the 2x client running on Linux, the little window pops up, and keyboard focus is removed! If I want to type a name which is not in the list, I have to hit the escape key to regain focus. If the address I am typing is similar to a name in the autocomplete list, I have to hit escape several times, once between each similar letter, before I can get the address typed in.

    This is a show stopper as far as I am concerned.

    Another typical scenario where this is irritating ... When Outlook receives a new email and pops up the alert window, I lose focus if I am typing into a linux terminal window, etc., etc.

    Is there a fix for this?

    Thanks.
