Clips you select from a ClipsWindow will indeed go to where the previous windows focus point as the place for the clip to be applied. It has to do that because clicking in the ClipEindow steals focus away from where ever it was.

Clicking in the CV window but not actually editing anything takes focus but for some reason the Find/Replace window was the last focus point recorded before clicking in the ClipWindow.

If you use a clip menu, or a clip toolbar button (instead of the ClipWindow), the current (not previous) focus point is used. The problem is when you click in CV the focus is being grabbed by Find and Replace for some reason.

The insertspecial character tool has to use the same approach as clicking in that Window steals focus as well.

I will look into it.
