   Customize?)  The current patch is below.

That is because Custom implements the mouse-1 behavior in a different
way from mouse-1-click-follows-link.

The relevant code for mouse-1 starts at line 4175 in cus-edit-el, in
particular:

     (define-key map [mouse-1] 'Custom-move-and-invoke)

The relevant code for mouse-2 starts is in wid-edit.el in particular:

    (define-key map [down-mouse-2] 'widget-button-click)

(All assuming I understood correctly.)

I believe that the best solution might be to get rid of the mouse-1
binding and use the follow-link property to implement the mouse-1
behavior in Custom, as is done elsewhere.

Sincerely,
