Re: Q on Text Properties popup menu - shouldn't it use the pointer position, not the cursor position?

   Commands such as `describe-text-properties' should still use the cursor

   instead.

I did not read far enough when I replied.  The "Describe Properties"
item indeed applies to the character after point, but it is the only
C-mouse-2 item that does.  The pointer position may not be on a
character to begin with.  For instance, it might be on the empty part
of the window past the last character.
