It's infuriating, and that's what I wanted to express. Losing the explicit "clicks" after two make it less clear.

I'm fairly certain that, prior to Yosemite, it was possible to click in a non-active app's edit pane to put the caret at that point. It now requires two clicks: one to change which application and then a second to put the caret at the desired place. Has anyone else observed this change or know why it was made?

More importantly, how can I get this behaviour back? I seem to do a lot of work where I select text in one app, copy it, and then want to insert it in a new app. The above change in behaviour is pretty infuriating :-(
