Subject: 24.4; Middle click on flyspell-highlighted but correct word does
 mouse-yank-primary
Date: Sun, 07 Jun 2015 18:18:09 +0100

When a flyspell-marked word is added to the dictionary, or to the
buffer-local LocalWords list, other instances of the word in the buffer
are not immediately unmarked.

However, if one clicks mouse-2 on such a word, the expected flyspell
menu does not pop up; instead, mouse-2 reverts to its default action
(typically, mouse-yank-primary).

To see this effect, type for example M-x flyspell-mode:

foxb foxz foxb

in a buffer, then mouse-2 on the first “foxb”, and “Accept for session”.
The second “foxb” remains highlighted, but mouse-2 on it runs
mouse-yank-primary, even though the word is highlighted on mouseover.

There’s another, similar oddity, which is that clicking on a repeated,
highlighted word, such as the second “this” in:

this this

gives the message “<mouse-2> is undefined”, which looks like a
semi-successful attempt to correct the above-mentioned problem in
another guise.

(I'm going through old bug reports that have unfortunately not gotten
any responses.)

I'm unable to reproduce this in Emacs 27 -- are you still seeing this?
What I'm seeing is that the second "foxb" is still underlined, but if I
mouse-2 it, nothing happens -- no menu, and no yanking...

I get the same here -- the second "this" is underlined, but mouse-2 on
it does nothing.
