Strange focus/active behavior

[SamSpade]

I have a MDI application

Each child window contains one control docked fill (not all forms have the
same control).

Sometimes, I'm not sure what the criterion is for making it happen, if I
click on a control it will accept text but the form's title shows the form
is not active.

I've checked, the active form is the one with a highlighted title - not the
one receiving the typed text.

If instead of clicking a control on the form, I click the form's title or
resize the form then the form does becomes active.


Any suggestions as to what is happening?

I've also run across this annoying problem but didn't find a solution...
