OK, in that case the text is correct. But it could easily be misread by some users. It would be clearer to state this explicitly: "If `mouse-autoselect-window' is nil and `mouse-autoselect-window' is non-nil, then move the mouse pointer to FRAME." And it wouldn't hurt to state this explicitly also: "Otherwise, do not move the mouse pointer." > > Similar problems exist for the description in the Elisp manual (the > > text is almost the same).

Hopefully, someone else does. ;-) Thx.
