I found it harder to work out when I need to hold down mouse-1 that bit longer to not follow a link, than to press mouse-2 when I did want to follow a link (and this is with a two button mouse which emulates mouse-2). I was constantly going places that I didn't want to go and I find the old behaviour a lot easier. I realise that I'm less fluent in Emacs than a lot of people on this list but I'm probably more fluent than the average Emacs user. If I am the only one who had problems then lets leave it as it is, but if there are many others who have also set mouse-1-click-follows-link to nil, perhaps we could make this the default. Nick
