Mouse-1 behaviour changed in gnus?

Mouse-1 behaviour changed in gnus?

[Piet van Oostrum]

A few days ago (Tuesday) I checked out a new copy from the CVS and installed
it. I noticed one problem and I am not sure if it is a bug, a policy change
or just a matter of a different configuration:

When I click mouse-1 on a link in a gnus *Article* buffer, the link isn't
followed, as in the previous version I had, but the buffer scrolls one
line. Mouse-2 does follow the link. Why is this?

Which was the last version where you did _not_ notice this behavior?
I don't recall any relevant changes in Gnus.  And there were no
check-ins in lisp/gnus/ at all since 2005-12-16.

Which kind of link?

Some test links follow: http://www.gnu.org (info "(gnus)Article
Buttons") `gnus-button-emacs-level' <reinersteib+gmane@imap.cc>

Bye, Reiner.

The previous version I had was Oct 28

I see 3 links above (gnus-button-emacs-level isn't a link) and all 3 have
this effect. When the cursor is already in the Article buffer it works.

I found that the problem only occurs when the cursor is not inside the
*Article* buffer. So it probably is related to this change:


2005-12-27  Richard M. Stallman  <rms@gnu.org>

	* mouse.el (mouse-drag-region-1): When remapping mouse-1 to
	mouse-2, go back to previously selected window, so it's selected
	when mouse-2 command runs.

I have looked into the code, but it isn't obvious to me what is wrong with
it.

I updated from CVS last week for the first time in months, and one thing
I noticed happening was that sometimes, when the frame is split into two
windows, and I click with the mouse-1 button on a link in the
non-selected window (such as in a *Help* buffer, or on a URL highlighted
by goto-address in a text buffer), instead of following the link,
whatever random text happens to be in the clipboard (?) is pasted at
point in the selected window.  It is as if, instead of clicking mouse-1
on a link in the non-selected window, I had clicked mouse-2 somewhere in
the selected window.  Using mouse-2 follows the link correctly.

This only happens sometimes, and I have not come up with a recipe to
reproduce it reliably, so I didn't report it, but it looks possible that
the change Piet quoted above might be implicated.

Please isn't there anybody that knows enough about mouse.el to find the
bug?

In case you didn't notice yet: Chong Yidong fixed it in CVS.

Bye, Reiner.

SInce I do not use Gnus, and normally don't use the mouse anyway,
this is not something I could ever be likely to notice on my own.
Thanks for telling me.

I though this information could be new for Piet van Oostrum (who
originally reported this problem).  Even better if my message also was
useful for you (I know that you don't use Gnus).

Bye, Reiner.
