[BUG] No focus when dropped file on sublime but caret blinks

#1

Hi,

Build 3080, Windows7 64bit
When sublime does not have focus, drag/droping a file on sublime fails to give it focus. In some cases the caret even blinks, which is very misleading and thus potentially dangerous.

To reproduce:

  1. put a text file on your desktop,
  2. open an empty sublime window, with no files
  3. click on your desktop to make sublime loose the focus
  4. drag the file from your desktop to sublime’s empty buffer
  5. you should see a caret blinking
  6. type anything (be careful though, because the buffer should not move)

Notes:

What could be expected is:

  • no blinking caret in buffers that do not have focus
  • having sublime take focus upon file drop by default, or an option to choose to do it.

Thanks !
