You and I are clearly using Emacs differently.  I'd like to observe this behavior myself.  Can you describe what you're doing?  When you say partially obscured Emacs, what do you mean?  Example, I almost always run Emacs with maximized frames (not full screen).  I split a frame left and right into two windows L and R as Daniel had.  I'll switch to Messages which partially obscures Emacs with.  Then back.  I almost always do this with the keyboard at least a hundred times per day.  I've tried the pointer recently due to Daniel's prompting, but didn't see the issue.

Is there really a consensus for this? Click-through does not appear how (MacOS) applications work in general. While it seems useful for switching between unobscured Emacs windows, it's a bit surprising when clicking on a partially obscured Emacs in order to raise and activate it.

Is there a way to make the behaviour more conditional in this respect? Or, at least, configurable.
