Here's a direct URL to the file. > http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/mouse3.el > Eval the defcustom for `mouse3-region-popup-submenus', then use `M-x > customize', and you'll see how messy (how wide) the display is. Since the type you use is (sexp :tag "Command"), you give relatively little information to Custom about what it can look like (not that the type is wrong, actually). And yes, Custom should probably try to wrap lines somehow in such cases (e.g. pretty-print the sexp). During the wrapping, it could convert the \n in strings into actual LF chars. Stefan
