To give the people at emacs-devel some context to > the issue, the salient portion of the previous post is pasted below: IIUC an important missing detail is that you're using Emacs-22 and that this same problem won't happen in Emacs-23, right? I could imagine adding a help-text that would pop-up when the mouse is over one of those dreaded square boxes. But this problem has been around for a while now, and should be much more rare in Emacs-23, so I'm not sure it's worth "fixing". Or rather I think that the approach taken in Emacs-23 is such a fix.
