NTemacs: artist-mode: mouse-2 does NOT spring-up a menu

NTemacs: artist-mode: mouse-2 does NOT spring-up a menu

[David Combs]

 Am using NTemacs: GNU Emacs 23.0.0.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2007-08-18 on TPAD)


| Drawing with the mouse:
| 
|  mouse-2
|  shift mouse-2	Pops up a menu where you can select what to draw with
| 		mouse-1, and where you can do some settings (described
| 		below).
| 
|  mouse-1
|  shift mouse-1	Draws lines, rectangles or poly-lines, erases, cuts, copies
| 		or pastes:
| 


So I try mouse-2, but it does NOT spring-up a menu.

Nor does shift--mouse-2.

What do you suppose my problem is?

Thanks!

David

Well, that's hard to diagnose, I can see a menu on my GNU Emacs
23.0.91.1 under Linux. Just to be sure: mouse-2 is supposed to be the
middle mouse button, with wheeled mice this usually means pressing the
wheel.

Before you file a bug report you should definitely try a newer version
of Emacs. Emacs 23 has entered pretest, you can get the official
binaries for windows here:

  http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/windows/

If the problem persists, M-x report-emacs-bug is your friend. 

All the best, 

Anselm

THANK YOU!

Pressing the wheel does the trick!

I'm using NTemacs (on wife's XP), and M-x version says:

GNU Emacs 23.0.0.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2007-08-18 on TPAD

Right now I'm limited to NTemacs -- but when my blade-100
gets back up, I'll grab that other one.
