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.
