Ok, I invested some time now to see what I can do and I think the
symptoms can be solved by tweaking my settings of the window manager a
bit:

I don't know why I did not immediately see (and try) this but at least
with kwin (which is the KDE window manager) there are a few different
modes for the focus switching behavior, one is the focus will *always*
be swiched to whatever window currently *is* below the cursor and the
other one is it will switch focus only on the *event* of moving the
mouse and *entering* a different window.

I had for some reason I cannot remember the first option enabled which
under almost all circumstances for all my other use cases behaves
effectively almost the same but does not work with Lazarus. Switching
it to the other mode has solved this problem for me.

This means whoever has started wasting brain-power on this problem:
Stop thinking about it, it is not really a problem anymore, it could
be solved by my desktop settings. Maybe it is the elevated temperature
of 40°C here that kept me from trying hard enough to solve my problem
before I posted to the list, I hereby want to apologize for any
inconvenience.
