I don't quite understand the reported issue either, but it's pretty odd
for help-mode to bind mouse-2 -- we generally don't do that in buffers;
only buttons have mouse bindings.
Especially with this not very helpful command:
;; The doc string is meant to explain what buttons do.
(defun help-follow-mouse ()
"Follow the cross-reference that you click on."
(interactive)
(error "No cross-reference here"))
I guess the point is to... not say
Buffer is read-only: #<buffer *Help*>
to be helpful? It might just confuse more than it helps.
