Description
Current behavior
Mouse clicks register in interactive sketches even when the cursor is not over the sketch window (like clicking on links anywhere in the page). This is particularly problematic in examples like FileIO/SaveOneImage where any click triggers a file save.
Expected behavior
Mouse clicks only register when the cursor is over the sketch window
Possible solution
Embed the sketches into an iFrame. See @trikaphundo's first comment below
The following examples are using MousePressed to capture clicks and may need to be fixed

Research direction
Start by locating the code that embeds live sketches and reproduce the issue by clicking outside a sketch window, especially with FileIO/SaveOneImage. Done means mouse clicks register only while the cursor is over the sketch, including for the listed affected examples.
