If I `C-h k mouse-1', I get the contents below, so I'm unable to reproduce this. Are you still seeing this on the trunk, or do you have a different recipe for how to reproduce it? --- There were several key-sequences: at that spot runs the command mouse-drag-region at that spot runs the command mouse-set-point They're all described below. at that spot runs the command mouse-drag-region (found in global-map), which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in =E2=80=98mouse.el=E2=80=99. It is bound to . (mouse-drag-region START-EVENT) Set the region to the text that the mouse is dragged over. Highlight the drag area as you move the mouse. This must be bound to a button-down mouse event. In Transient Mark mode, the highlighting remains as long as the mark remains active. Otherwise, it remains until the next input event. When the region already exists and =E2=80=98mouse-drag-and-drop-region=E2= =80=99 is non-nil, this moves the entire region of text to where mouse is dragged over to. at that spot runs the command mouse-set-point (found in global-map), which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in =E2=80=98mouse.el=E2=80=99. It is bound to . (mouse-set-point EVENT &optional PROMOTE-TO-REGION) Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 22.1. Move point to the position clicked on with the mouse. This should be bound to a mouse click event type. If PROMOTE-TO-REGION is non-nil and event is a multiple-click, select the corresponding element around point, with the resulting position of point determined by =E2=80=98mouse-select-region-move-to-beginning=E2=80=99.
