I’ve noticed this bug for a long time, even before Yosemite.

If I drag n’drop files from one tab to another, from then on TotalFinder steals the focus when I switch to other apps. It will remain in front until I click on the tab where the files where dragged from.  
It happens every time I drag n’drop from tab to tab.

I made a screen capture to demonstrate the issue:

NB: it may be related to [Totalfinder show up when drop & drag](https://discuss.binaryage.com/t/totalfinder-show-up-when-drop-drag/1670) but I’m not sure so I’m still posting this separate issue.

This issue seems to be fixed in the latest version (1.6.17).
