Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:



The result of the apropos buffer looks great.  The symbols are
hilighted, and RET runs the command apropos-follow.  Using mouse-2,
however, does not work!

When I use C-h k, I find the following:

<mouse-2> at that spot runs the command apropos-mouse-follow

And indeed, in the Messages buffer, I find this:

apropos-mouse-follow: There is nothing to follow here [2 times]

Thus the function gets called, but it fails somehow.
Here is the code:

      (or (and (not (eobp)) (get-text-property (point) 'mouse-face))
	  (and (not (bobp)) (get-text-property (1- (point)) 'mouse-face))
	  (error "There is nothing to follow here"))

Now for the text properties in the Apropos buffer, using M-x
list-text-properties-at:

Text properties at 235:

face                 info-xref
item                 get-buffer-process

Thus, the mouse-face property is not there.
The info-xref is there because 
apropos-symbol-face's value is info-xref

Perhaps this is related to another variable?

apropos-label-face's value is 
(face italic mouse-face highlight)
