​Maybe it would be best if someone fixed the XSETFRAME macro in
​mouse-position so it works properly under the macOS window system so we
could avoid any work arounds on this.  -- Bob

From mouse-position:
    ;;    f = SELECTED_FRAME ();
    ;;    XSETFRAME (lispy_dummy, f);
    ;;  It seems like the XSETFRAME macro is not properly copying the value
of f on initial frame selection under the macOS window system.
