After reading through the entire thread, I still don't understand what
the problem is. But if it's that `mouse-autoselect-window' is not
respected on the NS port, then I think this bug is now outdated, because
the code to do that is already present and works.
(On GNUstep, at least. I don't know about macOS)
Alan, do you know anything about this?
