Yes, this is true. but for some reason I did never use any programs
that move the focus to another window *and* would then be unusable
with this mode. Somehow everything worked for me and I did not
consciously notice the few occasions where I had to manually move the
mouse to a dialog window. The only app that really did not work in
this mode and caused major annoyance was Lazarus and I simply was not
aware that i could chose between these two different modes.

Just tried it and it makes no difference. The mouse is invisible but
it is still there and causes the focus switch.
