That's a different one (depends on the morph with keyboard focus...)
As for Shaun's preference we should probably have a setting:
Related to Object>>windowActiveOnFirstClick
Might be like that for Mac apps, for Windows users they expect the click to
follow through...

Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] Should tools cancel the selection when brought
to front?
In the tools (e.g. Workspaces, Browser (System and OB)), when you click
in a
text field to bring the tool to the front, it cancels the selection and
places the cursor where the click is.
For me, this behavior is less useful than what seems to me to be the
standard "clicking anywhere on me when I'm not active does nothing but
activate me" behavior (e.g. try it with two Safari windows in Mac). I
find
my self contorting and having to move windows so I can click on the title
bar of a window underneath so I don't cancel a selection which I want to
evaluate repeatedly. I'd rather have one extra click to move the cursor.
I share the same experience, especially when opening a workspace or a
transcript while coding in a browser. I need to click on the background to
open a world menu to move the focus on the background before typing Cmd-k.
