By default, Emacs moves point to where you click. You can do the same
thing if you deliberately C-x o from the minibuffer. See 9.3 Editing in
the Minibuffer section of Emacs manual.
I see nothing wrong on the Org side.

Check out 22.1 Mouse Commands for Editing section of Emacs manual.
`x-mouse-click-focus-ignore-position' might be something you want to
customize.
