Odd Cursor Behaviour all over

I realize this is comparatively minor, but I noticed the cursor has been behaving very strangely with the new version of SL.

When I go to About Groups -> Invite -> Add Member, the cursor stays in my chat line instead of going to the Search Window to find the avatar names to invite. This feels like the opposite of intuitive for me and means I end up spamming chat with people's names that I'm trying to invite -- oops! Sorry to all those around me.

Also in About Groups, the view now defaults to showing the top of the window (first groups in alphabetical order), instead of the Currently Active Group. This makes it more difficult to get into Group Info for my active group. When I change my Active Groups, the window scrolls me back up to the top, instead of staying down to show me the Group I just Activated.

I think this also happens (the cursor goes to chat) when moving across tabs in Search, but I'm not positive that this is new with this version.

These are just a few off the top of my head... I can add more instances of odd cursor behaviour as I remember and notice them. Has anyone else had trouble with odd cursor behaviour or is it just me?

Yes, the cursor focus doesn't change where it needs to. When I try to pay, I find I have to click inside the little space to pay, otherwise I wind up typing in the chat.

Cursor focus needs to go to the area opened. If that area has several windows to type into, then there should be no focus or a default focus, but don't leave the cursor focus in the chat.
