Mouse click behaviour when changing focus is weird

[pauxus]

I just noticed a rather weird behaviour in Sublime 3, on Windows 7 64bit.

When the I have focus in a different window (for example to copy something), and I click back into the Sublime window, the window gets the focus, after a fraction of a second, the cursor is placed in the text, but not on the place where the window was clicked but rather where the mouse cursor is NOW, a split second later.

So you click in the window, you continue moving the mouse after the click, and the cursor appears at a completely different place. This hampers fast working with two windows a lot.

This is even worse when trying to select something using the mouse, because in that case, you HAVE to move the cursor:

Steps to reproduce:

• Enter a String (say "This is my test string")
• select a different (non Sublime) window
  -Now try to select the whole sentence with a the mouse (without previously focusing the editor) in one fast motion.

Expected behaviour: Whole string is selected
Actual Result: only part of the string is selected (The part of the timeframe between clicking and the setting of the focus is missing)

Can not reproduce and never occured to me, same OS.

Does this also happen without Plugins? Do you have any tools running that intercept window focus handling?

[pauxus]

No tools, but I tried cleaning all plugins, you are correct, problem does not appear anymore. I will look for the culprit plugin. Thanks.

I see the weird mouse behaviour all the time, reproducible. I'll give information later. Probably some of these are unrelated to each other, but everything falls into this "mouse click acts strange"

[pauxus]

It seems not to be related to a specific plugin, but rather the the amount of active plugins.

This is sometimes reproducible in many situations when returning to get focus:

• Click a tab, sometimes the tab gets detached from the tabbar because of that delay described in item0
• Switch focus between ST windows, when text is selected, and you target your click at the selection, click acts weird.
• Switch focus between a panel and a view (for example the F&R and another tab), if some of these have text selected, in some situations acts strange..

I remember this used to be worse, so is pretty trivial, but very annoying.

A practical example:
1 Open two windows, next to each other
2 select window 1
3 Type or copy and paste "CLICK HERE"
4 Triple click or select all the "CLICK HERE" text
5 focus window 2, and write something
6 Now focus windows 1 trying to click the text "CLICK HERE".

You will notice the clicked text /wants to be dragged. Something similar happens with the tabs, but there is worse because the tab gets detached and creates a new window.

I change it to from invalid to bug trivial.
