Thanks, I can confirm that this is fixed by your commit

I'm therefore closing this bug report.

Say we have a NS Emacs frame with two windows --- let's say L and R.
We select L, then switch to another app on the OS.  Then we click on the
Emacs window in the area owned by R.  I observe Emacs being focused but
the selected window being L!  If I click in exactly the same spot again,
*then* R is selected.  But I need two clicks where one should suffice.
