Outlook 2003
Following situation:
Another window than Outlook is focused. An item in Outlook is
selected.
Now I click into the Outlook window to select another item.
But this item will not be selected as expected.
What happens is that the item that was selected before will be opened.
=> strange behaviour, isn't it?
Does anyone know why?
Is there any bug fix for this?

Thanks,
Peter
 
I'm guessing that your first click merely gives Outlook focus but does not
actually select that second item. You probably have to click three times -
once to give Outlook focus, the second time to select the desired item and a
third time to actually open it.
Click to expand...

Thanks Ben for your answer!
But the first click does not only give Outlook the focus but also
_opens_ the selected item. _That_ is the strange behaviour.
Ben, what does your Outlook do in the same situation?
