Gnome Terminal question

[R Kimber]

I don't know whether this is a bug, or whether I should make a feature
request. Nor am I clear whether it's a Gnome Terminal problem or a
window manager issue.  So I'd appreciate some guidance.

If I use Gnome Terminal, and have several tabs open, with the window in
the background, when I want to use the terminal and click on the
relevant tab there is no active cursor in the window.  In other words
activating the tab doesn't activate the terminal.  Clicking in the body
of the window is also required.

This is confusing because other apps (e.g. Bluefish) don't behave like
this and have an active cursor when the window is brought to the top.

Is Gnome terminal like this by design, or Is there some setting I'm
missing somewhere, or is it a bug?
