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.
Err, I may be missing something there, but you seem to be saying that there's lots of possibilities and no consistency in which gets chosen. Which seems to be just a generalization of what I said, except that I'm saying that the inconsistency is crazy, at least in specific cases.
I'm sure there might be places where it's not crazy but the practical effect is that I regularly find myself typing into one window when I thought I was operating on another, so I don't think I'm totally unjustified!
Ah, the structure of your comment made me think it was going to be an explanation of why things were as they were, so when it didn't actually do that I was thrown into confusion l-)

Yes.

I'm not sure I have quite enough data to be certain about this yet, but it looks that way, yes.

Indeed. You seem to be interpreting my comment as if I disagreed with you, but actually I agree with you. Maybe I should have said so explicitly?
