I know that. I was talking about interpretation of what Richard said, and your reaction to it. > If all menus behaved the same everywhere in Emacs, and on all platforms, > that would be even better, but that was not what I reported or requested. > > The other bug I reported, whose fix apparently caused this bug, was about > the menu-bar menu, IIRC. I'm confused: what are you saying here about how the problem at hand should be fixed? >>From my perspective, mouse-2 in menus now performs on Windows as it does in other Windows GUI programs and as it works with some toolkits on X. mouse-2 on a button in Customize, which drops the value menu does _not_ behave as on X. Given these facts and the fact that mouse-2 behavior on Windows in both these types of menu msut be the same, what would you want that uniform behavior to be?
