[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

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.
