I don't recall this always being this way as I keep running into
a problem with my input going into the wrong window.
I've noted I seem to be relying on which editor(i.e. gvim)
window in X11 has focus by noting that it has a
blinking square cursor in the window at the cursor's
current position in the edited text.
If I move the windows cursor to another editor window in X11,
the blinking cursor moves to the new window, but if I move
it to a native window, the blinking doesn't stop.
Has this always been this way?
I think so, yes.
See [1] et seq. for a discussion of what I think is the same problem,
where the Cygwin X server doesn't notify X windows of a focus loss when
the focus moves to a non-X window.
Unfortunately, my attempts at fixing this just introduced more problems
(see [2],[3] et seq.), and so were reverted.
