Synopsis: Unintuitive behavior when trying to move an undocked window

Description
When I try to move an undocked window, it seems that I have to first click on 
the title bar to give it focus and then I can left-click and hold to move the
window.  This is very confusing because with other windows, such as the estudio
main window, I can just left-click and hold (don't have to click on the window
title bar first).  In addition, once I complete the move of an undocked window
and release the left mouse button, the window seems to lose focus (or at least
the title bar changes color in a way that leads me to believe it has lost focus.

In fact, I have now discovered that after a move of an undocked window, if I move
the mouse into it and type control-F, this character is sent to the window
underneath the undocked window (an editor in this case)!  *Very* confusing.
I have to click on the title bar of the undocked window after the mouse for
the typed characters to go into that window.  I am using "point in window to
type" rather than "click to type", if that matters.

I hope these are bugs because this behavior is very unintuitive to me.

These problems seem to be fixed in build 66833.  Undocked windows behave
as expected.  Closing this report.

Found the reason why it need a addition click on undocked window to start dragging now, because there is a additional pointer leave actions have been called on undocked window which disabled dragging, reported bug#12074. For focus issues, reported in bug#12074 too.
