I have been getting behavior like this and I believe it is due to
Firefox.  When I pass the mouse cursor from window 1 to firefox to
window 2 and window 2 is still over the firefox window, the focus goes
frome window 1 to firefox to window 2 and then goes back to firefox!  So
I think firefox is doing something funny with window focus.  This
started at firefox 1.5 on Linux.   I generally have to move the mouse back
out and in, or click on the intended window.
