We're talking about slightly different things.
When I hear "mouse-2 binding", I think the global bidning in
vc-dir-mode-map, which affects how mouse-2 works also when clicking
outside of any buttons (on whitespace beside the buttons). And I think
that behavior is relatively weird and could be removed.
I didn't even notice that `mouse-2' did stuff when outside the
"buttons". And what it does is quite odd... hm, no, if you click after
the final line, it'll mark the last line, and before the first, it'll
mark the first, so perhaps that's logical?
But we also have the behavior of mouse-1 and mouse-2 clicks on the
"status" button. Which seem fairly sensible to me, but might be the
cause of Glenn's annoyance in this report because it's relatively easy
to click mouse-1 anywhere in the buffer by mistake.
Yes, I think he was complaining about the "status" button.
Right. But if that is what is at issue here, I think the question
becomes whether to remove the "buttons" from that column (and keep the
mouse-2 binding globally) or whether to remove the mouse-2 binding,
but set up the buttons to continue working. Or make mouse-1 stop
working on the buttons but keep mouse-2 working everywhere (except the
file names, I guess?).
I think removing the global mouse bindings and only having them on the
"buttons" would be least surprising -- that's how most modes work.
