If it is running GNU and Linux, please call it a GNU/Linux box. This helps us just as fixing bugs in Emacs helps us--but it is much less work! emacs -q --no-site-file C-h v mouse-autoselect-window RET Click on customize this variable Toggle the value on. Set for current session. Move mouse over *Help* window. Hit TAB. You should see "No buttons or fields found". When you switch frames, Emacs generates a switch-frame event whose purpose is to wake up read_key_sequence so it will reread the keymaps of the new frame. Something similar needs to be done for mouse-autoselect-window. I would guess that that mechanism either isn't happening or is working wrong.
