Most likely that the editor code does not respond to the action (A-S-O 
etc.) by opening a modal dialog immediately in the same EQ block as it 
should, but rather posts a request to run slightly later, by which time 
other keystrokes may have been delivered to the editor window. Rather 
annoying class of bug. (Curiously, Mozilla Mail seems to suffer from the 
same problem in a few cases.)
