There's certainly something weird with SloppyFocus, though I've not
found out exactly what, and I can't reproduce it on purpose.
I use SloppyFocus and sometimes a window will fail to get focus, when
I change pages with Ctrl-Arrows. Mostly it works like a charm though,
it's only like 1 of 100 times when it doesn't. Even then, simply
clicking on the window or moving the mouse away from the window and back
into it again solves the problem. The annoying part is that I usually
don't have my hand on the mouse when this happens, so I have to move my
fingers away from the keyboard to the mouse, and back, for this...
In the past I've also had situations where the focus would lock into
some window and I wasn't able to change it at all, by clicking on the
window or anything. Only a restart of AS helped. However I think
that's a different bug and I don't remember seeing it since I upgraded
to my current version of AS. Which is 1.7.164, BTW.
