+1 I get furious inside when using Windows because of that!


Funny how it works. I actually don't like that Macs do that.
I prefer the active window to be the only active window and have to activate anything in the back to make it start doing stuff.

Yes, we all have our preferences! I spend a lot of time typing in a window while scrolling others for reference so for me the way macOS works is perfect but once in a while I find myself trying to type in a window I'm scrolling so I can see how it could be annoying too.

- Windows can't scroll a background window
In control panel (Win 10) you have a switch: scroll background window when mouse pointer is over it: on/off
so IMHO it's the best solution. +1 for Windows. ;)
