As you mention Spaces, one has to assume Leopard (Mac OS 10.5). FWIW,  
I've had a number of cases where focus becomes a problem. I had  
assumed it was due to my use of Spaces but as you're experiencing  
similar problems with Spaces turned off, it looks like it's some other  
area of the OS playing silly games. Anyway, a restart seems to resolve  
the issue. Not ideal but there you go.
