I wasn't able to confirm this behavior in other applications, but I was able t o do something similar. If I use the mouse wheel to scroll through another doc ument it does not change the focus. If I click on the scroll bar though, it do es change the focus.
You weren¹t able to confirm this behavior? Try this:
Open TextEdit Type some text Select some text Focus another app Click and drag the selected text in TextEdit TextEdit will not regain focus.
Open Safari Go to a web page Select some text Focus another app Click and drag the selected text in Safari Safari will not regain focus.
Even the Finder, if clicking and dragging and item from the Desktop or open window, will not regain focus.
I¹m not much into Mac programming, but I suspect that this is basic behavior for most Cocoa apps. Carbon apps, such as iTunes, MS Office, and Adobe¹s apps, will likely focus as soon as you click.
The scroll wheel behavior you describe is standard in Leopard.
