Is there a generally accepted name for the Mac's completely bizarre mouse focus policy? If you don't know: click to focus for the left mouse button but point to focus for the others.
I'm not sure I even understand what that description means. "Click to focus for the left mouse button" means that if you point the mouse at a window and then click the left button it doesn't gain focus until you click; but by that interpretation, "point to focus for the others" must surely mean that if you point the mouse at a window and then click the right button it gains focus as soon as you point! This is obviously a misparse, but I can't identify the right parse. I've never noticed anything odd about the Mac focus policy; it's always seemed to me like click-to-focus all the way.
See below for more discussion. Another example is if Solo is not focused and I middle (IIRC) click to make a pencil note then the subsequent keypress doesn't actually reach Solo but whatever previously had, and still has, the keyboard focus.
