A graph of the number of times I've made this mistake over time would look a 
lot like a flat line.

The fact that this is such an easy mistake to make at this point in UI 
evolution ought to be a red flag for interface designers.

Users need more/better input-focus cues.

With desktop computers' increasingly larger display real estate and processing 
power, and hence the increasing number of (visible) open windows, the 
probability of any given window having input-focus is trending lower, so the 
likelihood of inadvertent input placement is growing.
