Have you tried tmux's mouse modes?
You can use the mouse wheel to scroll and highlight to copy. I think you are specifically trying to say the mouse highlight won't go past one window though, right?
You can also resize panels and select widows.

ps:
man tmux | grep "mouse-" # shows the mouse related options
C-b : "set mouse-<option> on"
make sure "mouse-mode on" is set, rather than "mouse-mode copy-mode".
Here is my mouse config:
set-window-option -g mode-mouse on
set-option -g mouse-resize-pane on
set-option -g mouse-select-pane on
set-option -g mouse-select-window on
set-option -g mouse-utf8 on
