I think I see the problem: normally mouse-autoselect-window only kicks
into action when moving from one window to another.  Whereas in your
particular case it kicks in just by having the mouse in another window
than the selected one.  This is indeed undesirable: the behavior you get
with `i d' is done on purpose and required explicit code.  Somehow we'll
need to improve this code to also catch the case where the mouse was
inside a menu.
