That sounds like a problem, but could you try to find out first what 
makes your environment different? Perhaps it's better to have fixed 
there, or perhaps it's using some existing Emacs feature that we could 
fix ourselves too.

As it is, though, [mouse-1] seems to function okay in the scenario you 
described (non-selected window) when I try it with 'emacs -Q' or my own 
config.
