If using =display-line-numbers-mode= with the =visual= style set for it, sometimes clicking buttons does not actually click it. It instead shifts the buffer slightly, either to the left or to the right, and a mark is set (by clicking I refer with the mouse, specifically). You will need to press again in order to actually click the button. This is inconsistent, there's no guarantee that it will happen, it sometimes does, but it is often enough for you to be able to notice within just a couple of seconds of clicking through things. You can launch =emacs -Q= and run these two lines: (setq display-line-numbers-type 'visual) (global-display-line-numbers-mode) Then just click through buttons. A good test is to open the emacs manual =C-h R emacs= since it has a big index. The bug does not happen with =relative= style line numbers.
