Indeed, I followed your instructions and I clicked in the small white window. I was mistaken however about the kind of output you need. The middle click in my case produces precisely this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LeaveNotify event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001,
root 0x381, subw 0x0, time 268261578, (-57,257), root:(0,899),
mode NotifyNormal, detail NotifyNonlinear, same_screen YES,
focus NO, state 512
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And this is the LeaveNotify event I take when I move the mouse pointer outside the white box:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LeaveNotify event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001,
root 0x381, subw 0x0, time 268570589, (7,183), root:(1013,234),
mode NotifyNormal, detail NotifyNonlinear, same_screen YES,
focus YES, state 0
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Probably this explains why the middle click switches the focus to another active window. But is it also related to the copy-paste (ctrl-c --- ctrl-v) not working?

I assumed he had done that (it's what I asked him to do), in which
case the reported behaviour indicates something odd going on. Of
course, the xev output he posted came from the mouse leaving the xev
window, so maybe you're right and he misunderstood the instructions.
So, to make it even clearer: Move the xev window if necessary so it
doesn't cover the terminal window. Middle click in it, preferably
without moving the mouse, even a little. You should now see the mouse
click event in the terminal window. The moment you move the mouse,
tons of movement events will roll in and scroll the click events right
out of the terminal window.
