[Qt-creator] Click to activate vs. reposition cursor

[Ernst Huber]

What I observe is that clicking in the title bar of an editor window 
(i.e. a split pane) activates it without moving the cursor position 
while clicking somewhere in the coding area of an inactive editor window 
activates it and moves the cursor to where the user clicked.

This is different to programs such as MS Excel, Word etc. In these 
programs a click somewhere in the client area of an inactive window 
activates it with the cursor position unchanged. BUT in Visual Studio 
the behaviour is the same as in Qt Creator - you get the cursor where 
you clicked the inactive window.

So I guess this behaviour is "user experience dependent" and not 
platform specific.

Regards
Ernst
