I use GNU Emacs for everything, and I've only seen this behavior once.
One possibility is that your window manager is catching the other mouse
events. When I was first setting up my .uwmrc, I incorrectly made assumptions
about the behavior of uwm. The net result was that uwm trapped the mouse
events that I wanted to use in emacs.

I don't know anything about rn, but unless the geometry is provided to
GNU emacs, it will need to be placed. I personally prefer to use GNU emacs
as an environment where I read news, read mail, and edit. My experience
tells me that GNU emacs is not a good editor for invoking from another
program to do quick editing. GNU emacs is huge and takes too long
to load for that purpose. It seems to me that it would be better to
start in emacs and deal with news and mail from within emacs.
