The new IE ActiveX non-security patch

Microsoft recently rolled out patch 912945 in the security bulletin MS06-013. This patch subtly breaks the way IE handles embedded ActiveX controls, otensibly as a result of the settlement of the patent infringement suit with Eolas a while back.

As a result, when I use BearingPoint’s Outlook Web Access to view my company mail, I have to click in the message window or hit SPACEBAR or ENTER in order to activate the control. This is annoying and maddeningly stupid. Clearly, justice has been done.
