Open several windows in the Finder, then in Ui Browser set the Finder as the
target application, select the window in UI Browser's browser view that you
know is the frontmost Finder window, then open UI Browser's Attributes
drawer and look at the focused property. It reads true.
I cannot reproduce the behavior you describe using your "UI Browser"
or Apple's "Accessibility Inspector" applications (under OS X 10.4.8).
AXFocused is *always* set to "false" for all of Finder's windows (and
in any other application I have tried), and cannot be set to true.
Checking the checkbox next to AXFocused in "UI Browser" does nothing
-- the value remains false.
For purpose of comparison, the AXMain attribute works fine for the
same windows -- the frontmost window of Finder always has AXMain set
to true, and setting AXMain to true for a back Finder window brings it
to the front.
