Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list, and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

When I have two or more frames open, and one of the frames is "active" (has the keyboard focus), the other frames do not receive mouse events, except left-click, which activates the frame under the mouse cursor. If none of the emacs frames is active (e.g. an xterm window is active), then all frames receive mouse events as expected. Examples: Try to paste with the middle mouse button into the active frame (works) and into an inactive frame (nothing happens). Activate an non-emacs window (e.g. xterm or a start a second emacs). Paste into the inactive frames (works). Try to scroll with the mouse wheel in the active frame (works) and in an inactive frame (nothing happens). Activate an non-emacs window (e.g. xterm or a start a second emacs). Happily scroll all inactive emacs frames. Start an ediff session. Go to a diff. Try to view the surrounding of the diff in the two windows by scrolling with the mouse wheel. You need to activate the frame with the diffs first. Then you need to activate the ediff control frame again to go to the next diff. I would like to be able to paste and scroll in all emacs frames even if one of them is active.
