Code::blocks IDE focuses on mouse-over

Code::blocks IDE focuses on mouse-over.

By this I mean when I bring another app into focus over Code::blocks, Code::Blocks often brings itself back into focus when the mouse is moved over the area where Code::Blocks is. Very annoying. Is this a known bug, an unknown bug or a feature?
Many thanks.

Uncheck "Settings->Editor->Mouse Drag Scrolling->Auto Editor focus enabled".

Well, i can't confirm this, when you move the mouse over the C::B's taskbar button, C::B draws the title bar as active but it doesn't have the focus nor is active.

Same thing if you have MouseDragScrolling plugin's "Auto editor focus" option enabled. The editor seems to gain focus (the caret appears), but it still doesn't have the focus...

With the MouseDragScrolling plugin's "Auto editor focus" option enabled, i get the behaviour, that CB application steals the focus only the very first time (after starting CB) which i consider as bug.
The following times only the editor gets the focus (as you wrote above) but not the CB application.

That's strange, i did this: i opened notepad, opened C::B, set the focus to notepad, moved the mouse over the editor, typed something with the keyboard. Whatever i type goes inside notepad, even if the C::B editor seems to have the focus.

(Of course "Auto editor focus" is enabled)
