I put the (underline) `mouse-face' property on the whole line, to make it easier to choose from any column and easier on visual scanning (same reason you might employ zebra striping: to be able to easily see what's in the same row/line). > Well, the font is explicitly ignored, at least in my reading of the > code.

I don't know. >From a user point of view it is a bug, IMO. Regardless of what an Emacs developer might foresee as the only reasonable settings, a user should be able to set `mouse-face' to any face or any set of face properties and have that setting be manifested.
