But this will still use "the wrong buffer" for mouse clicks, no?
BTW, maybe a cleaner fix would be as follows:
- Add a `buffer` argument to `describe-key(-briefly)`.
- Pass that argument from `gnus-article-describe-key`.
And to get the behavior that Juri just pushed that `buffer` argument
would default to (if (consp event) (window-buffer (posn-window
(event-start event))) (current-buffere)).
