The main purpose of mouse-1 is to set point. On areas where mouse-1 can also follow a link (after a delay), there should be a clear indication to warn users about that. OTOH, the main purpose of mouse-2 is to perform special actions. It is not essential to warn users about ambiguity that mouse-1 has: when the user clicks mouse-2 on areas without mouse-face=highlight, that means that the intention was to follow a link, not to set point. So I think the question is not whether to make mouse-1 to have the exact same effect as mouse-2, but why mouse-2 sensitive areas are bigger than areas with mouse-face=highlight in the *Occur* buffer. I recall that the reason for that was to reduce flicker (especially on large context areas in the *Occur* buffer). -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
