When I hit enter while point is in "Function:", the appropriate Help buffer is shown. The bug is this: When I use RET when point is on "get-buffer-process", the appropriate Help buffer is shown. This part does not change colors when the mouse moves over it. Therefore, mouse-2 is not always equivalent to RET in an Apropos buffer. I think it should be. What do you think? apropos-follow takes the 'item property at bol into account, apropos-mouse-follow only takes 'mouse-face into account. Why the difference? I agree, that only mouse-face advertizes the ability to follow, but item provides the ability to follow. So if possible, the mouse should follow. Even when not advertized. Alternatively, the name of the symbol should also be advertized using mouse-face. Alex. -- http://www.electronicintifada.net/diaries/index.html http://www.us-israel.org/jsource/US-Israel/hr2506c.html
