I have put
set -g mouse on
set -g mouse-select-pane on
in my .tmux.conf file and then I open tmux and create a new pane and I cant switch pane with mouse. is there something else I need to configure? I am using tmux 2.9 on Mac using zsh.

1you may look at other parameters like Mouse-mode has been rewritten. There's now no longer options for: - mouse-resize-pane - mouse-select-pane - mouse-select-window - mode-mouse etc but it should have work with set -g mouse on only I guess– francois PCommented May 2, 2019 at 15:56

I have the same issue. I suspect it's a bug with mac.– jordanmCommented May 2, 2019 at 17:16

I have no insight into this issue. However, it might be beneficial to also add to your question what terminal program you are using; gnome-terminal, rxvt, etc. It's great that you indicated the tmux version, the hardware, and the shell. (With 'Mac', I assume you are running OS X/Mac OS...if not, that info is important too.) I don't know that it would matter, but I presume it could be helpful if this is an issue between the human-input-device all the way down to the tmux process.– 0xSheepdogCommented May 2, 2019 at 18:28

Are you using Terminal.app? I don't think it supports the mouse? Does it work with other applications, or in another terminal?– Nicholas MarriottCommented May 2, 2019 at 21:37

Here is a clarification of Mark Volkmann's answer. First make sure that you have set -g mouse on in your .tmux.conf file, and that you have sourced the file by running tmux source <whatever config file>. I have found the other line you have in your config to be unnecessary. Once you have the config file set up, run:
$ exit tmux
$ tmux kill-server
$ tmux
NOTE: In a previous version of this answer I listed Volkmann's answer as "horrible and unreadable". I do not find this to be correct nor do I find it an acceptable way to treat another person. Please accept my apology for being rude and inconsiderate.
I had the same issue. It was fixed after I did the following:
exit tmux- enter
tmux kill-server - enter
tmuxagain
On higher version 2.1 >, use :
setw -g mouse on

After making the tmux config change, run tmux source ~/.tmux.conf for an "on-the-fly" change
# Toggle mouse with ^M; then report it's new status
bind-key C-m set-option -g mouse \; display-message 'Mouse #{?mouse,on,off}'

To obtain the default behavior, which is equal as UP and DOWN keyboard arrows, use:
echo "set -g terminal-overrides 'xterm*:smcup@:rmcup@'" >> ~/.tmux.conf && tmux kill-server && tmux
