I'm the OP. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear in the initial report. The problem
is that the child frame (which appears on top of the parent frame) gets
scrolled on click. In this gif, the visible frame is the child frame:

I do not know what the command is that is scrolling the child frame. It
does not appear in view-lossage.

This may be, but I'm at a loss as to how my windowing system would increase
the height of an emacs window. It seems more likely that it is due to some
bug in nsterm, but I have been wrong before.

Thanks,
