This problem went away at some point between emacs-24.3.92 and today's head
of the emacs-24 branch. debbugs.gnu.org/18212 ? Closing.

[Message part 6 (text/plain, inline)]

To reproduce on latest emacs-24 branch:

  mkdir /tmp/foo.d
  emacs -Q /tmp

Dired mode creates links out of the directory names, such as foo.d.
C-h k then mouse-1 (ie left) click on a link. See:

  <mouse-2> (translated from <down-mouse-2> <mouse-2>) at that spot runs
  the command mouse-yank-primary, which is an interactive compiled Lisp

But if you C-h k then mouse-1 click where there is no link, see:

  <down-mouse-1> (translated from <down-mouse-1> <down-mouse-1>) at that
  spot runs the command mouse-drag-region, which is an interactive

Though this doesn't create an issue in Dired, it is causing another
Emacs package I use (unreleased) to paste text instead of doing what
it used to do in Emacs 24.3, which is to show its own context menu.

Why would C-h k mouse-1 say anything about mouse-2?
