Thanks for this very nice reply, however this is not the problem/feature.
I do not have ClickToFocus set anywhere, and infact clicking on the dclock
does not do any good. For that matter I do not have SloppyFocus set anywhere
either. This truely looks like a bug to me. The mouse buttons do what
they are supposed to though over the dclock, it is just the keyboard
that either does not respond or responds in another window.
