FYI I have no idea, the root of the problem described below, which still exists in CVS Emacs but the default value for focus-follows-mouse appears to be wrong (t) on MS Windows systems. I don't believe there is an option that will cause focus to follow a mouse on MS Windows systems.
Anyway, (setq focus-follows-mouse nil) appears to keep the problem described below from happening and so far I've not noticed any bad side effects from making it nil. -----Original Message----- From: Bielawski, Richard G.

I've never been in a position to compile Emacs myself until yesterday so was hesitant to report problems with months old binaries off the net. This still occurred with CVS as of last night. emacs -q C-x 5 2 Float the mouse over anything with popup help. Toolbar buttons and the mode line are good places. The original frame grabs the foreground. It doesn't have focus; your new frame still does. But your new frame is now hidden by an out-of-focus frame.
