When I open a new message and I start typing my response, nothing shows up in the typing box. Then I realize that I have to physically touch the typing box first, then I can start typing the message. This seems like a new feature and it's extremely annoying because I opened the message to read what was sent to me, therefore the program should allow me to start typing directly without having to physically touch the typing box area to activate it. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this or get around this? Thank you.
