Ooooh - so we're going to bring logic into this debate are we? Taking the gloves off, eh? Sneaky tactics. Very sneaky.
One reason is because the homepage content is cached aggressively. Anything we don't need to think about, and can just dump out, is A Good Thing. To show/hide the panel would require customising this content for each visitor.
The other reason might be (and I can't confirm this) sheer, unadulterated laziness on our part.

Don't you just hate it when people bring logic into an interweb argument? 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

When replying to a message and the page with the text editor opens, the focus goes somewhere I can't find, it was on the 'Message' box before. Now I have to click on the box to start writing my gems...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

This went straight to the Message box.

It is something with Chrome (maybe my only) - I do some checking (this one on IE went to the right place)...

I am using Chrome and it works fine, as it does in Edge (spit).
|
|
|
|
|
So I turned off all extensions and updated Chrome. After restart it is still the same...
The page loads with the caret focused on the right place, than start some activity (cursor spins), the focus goes somewhere unknown...
I opened Fiddler to see if there is something on the net while I see the cursor spinning, but while Fiddler is open the phenomena does not happening... 
I'm going to eat something...

I clicked "Reply" in Chrome (Version 52.0.2743.116 m) and it went straing to the "Message box" and I could type immediately.
This is on Win10, x64 non-Aniversary edition.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

It is pretty clear now that something went wrong at my end... I just can not find what it is...

Ask it in the QA 
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

It is not just you. It happens to me too and I am using Chrome. The focus is going to the ad in the banner at the top of the page. I guess CP needs more clicks so it forces focus there. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Yeah, 'cause that's how we roll 
If you can get me a screenshot of the ad that's doing that I'll make sure that ad is removed immediately.
That's not cool.

I've tested several times but the same ad keeps showing up. Not sure if ad specific or not because I wasn't paying attention to which ad before; however, here is the bad ad.[^]

The same ad here...I did not recognized it before, but I do not see any other ad at all...

You may have figured it out by now, but yes, it seems to be that specific ad. Other ads are not doing it now.

We're close - but not sure if we can fix it our end.
Looks like an issue with the way Google serves ads.

Actually it doesn't seems to be a Google Ad... It served by Atlassolutions (Atlas by FB)... And it is still there - exclusively...
Skipper: We'll fix it.

Ad serving is like an onion. Layers upon layers upon layers.

At this moment (15:07 [GMT+3]), started to see various ads and no focus disorientation happening anymore...
Thank you!

The reported ad still takes the focus, it only happens less as I have other ads too...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

Yep - Yuriy did some magic and managed to work around the issue.

Today the BAD ad took over my CP again... And it is still stealing focus... The relief was for a few hours only...

At this time , always no receipt of daily newsletters
The reason is that FREE ,my "Fournisseur Acces Internet ( FAI )"
blocks receipt of newsletters coming from domain like US on their pop3 servers
I have the same problem with ZDNET, Techrepublic newsletters
I don't know why ( it seems that financial discussions between FREE and ORANGE
are in development and rather "hard")
I will try solution of new mail address on Gmail for instance and create a new account
with it , on Code project
Thanks
