I can confirm this, I noticed the effect just this week. It seems to me the effect (bug) is connected to the current document focus. There are situations where you cannot tell from looking at the screen which document and/or pod has the focus. Also I read reports that the FDK can sometimes not report the active document to plug-ins. There are many challenges with the new UI...
