Are you talking about the value menu in the buffer (accessible by button) or the one in the menu bar? I could agree with the latter, but not with the former. Buttons have in all released versions of Emacs so far required mouse-2 presses on buttons (only customize buttons already had special code permitting mouse-1), so we should not disable this behavior in a single version leap. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
