(Get the code!)
I am experiencing this problem with both Firefox and Thunderbird (and have lost many e-mail messages because my typing suddenly went to the index window and was interpreted there as a "delete").
Contrary to the original poster, I have the problem only with keyboard events, never with mouse events. Klicking, dragging, marking all works fine on the foreground window. Key strokes suddenly start going to the background window. Switching the foreground between windows does not help. Closing and restarting the whole application usually helps.
My workaround in Thunderbird is to create an empty folder and switch the index window to it before typing a message, so the stray keystrokes cannot do much damage. In Firefox I use tabs instead of windows.
