I did put this in FOR-RELEASE (2008-03-01 1.764): ** Mouse clicks on the menubar don't currently work with a console Following the direct use of Gpm, the menubar now needs to be considered a special part of the screen in Emacs on a console. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-06/msg00277.html but it has apparently been moved to the bug tracker: http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=808 The green part of the menu bar *does* work like a tool bar if you try it in an xterm. When I implemented Gpm functionality at the C level in Emacs (for mouse highlighting and tool tips) I got it to work in the normal window area and mode line but not the menu bar. I was rather hoping some one else would follow that up. I was also hoping for a DOS-like menubar rather than tmm. In retrospect I guess this was overly optimistic. -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
