Focus Issues

[Dino Klein]

I found a way to demonstrate the focus issue I mention in the quoted
text below; this was tested on the official release of 3.0.1 on Windows XP.

If you have two terminal windows (tested when both had a session running),
and you minimize them, and then restore them by clicking on them in the
taskbar, there is almost a 100% probability that the second window restored will
have the focus, yet the cursor will not (actual terminal component will not have
focus). If you type something in the window in this state, nothing will happen,
but when you click on the other restored window to give it focus, then it will
get the focus, and whatever typed earlier will be processed by it as if typed in
that window.
