I have looked at it but it's a low level problem and involves code that I'm not
I'm not familar with.  Both t-mouse.el and xt-mouse.el put mouse clicks into
the command input via the variable unread-command-events.  For some reason
xt-mouse.el works as I would expect, but t-mouse.el doesn't.

It's quite forward to reproduce if you have gpm installed and running: all you
have to do is try to click on a link in the help buffer while the cursor is
elsewhere in the buffer or another window is selected.
