xyplorer steals focus on background drag to a foreground app

Hey!

So up until recently, when I was using Word I could drag an image from a background XYplorer instance without XYplorer stealing Word's focus, and XYplorer would stay in the background the entire time letting me focus on what I do in Word.

However, now when I try to drag an image from a background XYplorer instance to a foreground Word instance it will automatically focus XYplorer thus stealing Word's focus and not being able to see where I drop the image without ALT+TABing back to Word.

Tick this: Configuration | General | Menus, Mouse, Usability | Mouse | Allow dragging from a background window

That's the problem: it is already checked but it just stopped working in the latest versions :( It used to cut so much of my time when it worked, now XY keeps coming to foreground when I try to drag while it's in the background.

You have an idea when this started?

I don't have the previous versions to check, but I do know that on 4th of July it worked fine. Somewhere after that date it stopped working, only noticed it a few days ago.
