Well, the behavior was fine for me for years.

My work flow is now broken (http://xkcd.com/1172/).

Open a new message window (ctrl-N); type in recipient(s); tab to
subject and type in subject; tab to message area and tab.  Now focus
is in the editor.  Edit message.

The behavior you requested and got is fine for replying to a message
since you want to start editing the reply immediately.  But it's wrong
to immediately open the editor and have it steal focus when starting a
new message.

I wish this "fix" never happened.
