Just by chance, a companion squeaker told me, that my bug-posting was 
answered today by Karl Ramberg -
I did not get that mail and am wondering now, how many others I do not 
get and WHY!?
 
Howsoever, thanks to Karl, I could fix the bug by applying the changes in:
    5849TextMorphSelectionFix ( "Change Set: FocusFixes-rr | Date: 23 
March 2004 | Author: Romain Robbes")
to the TextPlusMorph.

Some questions are left for me:
In the attached changeset, there is just this new line:

    paragraph isNil ifFalse:[paragraph focused: aBoolean].

Focus is shown, then, but is never lost afterwards. This is normal for 
the GeeMailMorph, I always found that irritating.
If I apply the changes described below, the TextPlusMorph shows and 
looses focus like any other TextMorph.

---------------
keyboardFocusChange: aBoolean
    | parent |

    "we basically ignore loss of focus unless it is going to one of our 
siblings" 
    aBoolean ifFalse: [^self].
1. ^^^  remove this and rather put the question around the 
"Inform...."-code like 2. below

    paragraph isNil ifFalse:[paragraph focused: aBoolean].
    ^^^ in the attached changeset I added this line

    "A hand is wanting to send us characters..."
    self hasFocus ifFalse: [self editor "Forces install"].

2. aBoolean ifTrue:[
    "Inform our siblings we have taken the focus"
    parent _ self parentGeeMail ifNil: [^self].
    parent allTextPlusMorphs do: [ :each |
        each == self ifFalse: [each keyboardFocusLostForSure]
    ]].
    self changed.
3. ^^^^ add this line
------------------

Works nicely - any reason NOT to do so?
Thanks

Andreas
