I observe the following.
Start Emacs and then open two files one after the other, which makes them to
appear in two separate frames, say A and B. Position the two frames so that
they overlap, say so that the respective active frame covers half of the other
frame. Let frame A be the active one and position the cursor so that on its
line there is text to the left as well as to the right. Let me call this cursor
position x. Now click into frame B to make it active, and the click again into
frame A first at a place whose column is to the left of that of x, and then a
second time to a place whose column is to the the right of that of x. This
yields an unintended selection in frame A.
This behaviour is annoying if one works with several frames at the same time.
