Separate / Asynchronous - Windows
 
Is there a way to make it so if I click on the status window my main mud window / other mud windows don't get brought in front of other application's windows?


ONLY the status window would gain focus allowing whatever the status window may allow (MXP, etc).

I'm on cmud 2.37.
Thanks,
Aerious

P.S. I'm also interested in whether 3.34 or Pro will accommodate this.

No, this is an OS-level bug inherent to the way Windows has implemented the StayOnTop feature. I can't say that *nix, Mac, and others have done a better job, but Windows made some very serious mistakes and left them in for long enough that--just like in CMud--fixing them properly would cause far more problems than just trying to work around them.
