This seems to happen whenever I click to switch focus between floating code windows, or between the main window and a floating window. The first click I make into the new window only puts focus in it, but doesn't move the caret, let me drag to select text, etc. It seems that VAX is "eating" the click that put focus into the window.

I'm running VS2010 and VAX 10.6.1836.0. This doesn't repro when VAX is disabled.

Repro steps:
1. Open 2 C++ documents, A.cpp and B.cpp (might repro with other doc types).
2. Drag the tab of B.cpp away to make it a floating window.
3. Put the caret on line 1 of B.cpp.
4. Click on the main window to put focus back in A.cpp.
5. Click once on line 5 of B.cpp.

Result: The caret is still on line 1 of B.cpp.
Expected: The caret should be where you just clicked on line 5 of B.cpp.

It also repros if you swap A.cpp and B.cpp in steps 3-5 (that is, switch focus from the floating window back to the main window).

It doesn't repro 100% of the time, but often enough to be annoying when working with floating windows. It usually stops reproing for a little bit if you use Ctrl+Tab to switch between windows, or if you have split the main window into multiple code windows.
