I have noticed a similar problem with Lazarus 1.8.0 that did not happen 
in earlier versions.  When I click on a tab in the Source Editor with 
the focus in an editor window, the focus switches somewhere not in the 
window I switched to.  IIRC it used to remember where the cursor and 
focus was for each window, but now I have to explicitly click on the 
selected editing surface (which changes the cursor position).

If I do an operation in another kind of window (e.g. the Object 
Inspector), then move the mouse back to the Source Editor, the cursor 
position and focus are restored correctly.

This is particularly annoying :-\
