    Or sometimes the text bar just randomly loses focus and for whatever reason doesn’t default to getting focus when you type anything. I’d bet money this “feature” was the result of someone with more power than intelligence accidentally sending something embarassing because they didn’t realize teams had focus. Hell, I bet a good portion of Microsoft’s dumbshit behavious are the result of incompetent people getting power over how something behaves and basically boomerizing it (making it work in a specific and weird way that only makes sense to them).

        Yeah, there’s that angle also. Like how you can start phoning it in when you have a shitty manager that kills your passion. I have a feeling that that is part of the overall corporate culture at MS rather than just the case for people unlucky with which manager they ended up with.

        Assuming you meant that “focus” as a pun that refers to their ability to focus on their work to the point of doing it well.

        If you meant that it might have been some rogue developer that snuck in that change instead of a rogue manager, yeah, that’s also possible.
