23.0.92 builds fine on:

However, there is a bad interaction between M-x man and mouse-sel-mode.
This is not new; it's just the first chance I've had to isolate it.  Do:

emacs -Q 
M-x man RET sh RET C-x 0 

To get the sh(1) man page up.  Scroll down to SEE ALSO and NOTES section
and move point to bol of a line in the NOTES section, eg, of the line
beginning "Words" below:

SEE ALSO 
     intro(1), bc(1),  echo(1),  getoptcvt(1),  kill(1),  ksh(1), 
[blah blah blah] 

NOTES 
     Words used for filenames in input/output redirection are not 
     interpreted   for   filename   generation   (see  File  Name 

Now do mouse-1 on an entry in the SEE ALSO section, eg, intro(1).  I see
a new window with selection showing the intro(1) man page (and point has
moved in the sh(1) man page window to the intro(1) entry).  Fine so far.


Now move point in the sh(1) man page window back to bol in the NOTES
sections as before.  Do M-x mouse-sel-mode RET and repeat the mouse-1 on
an entry in the SEE ALSO section, eg, intro(1).  I see an error in the
echo area:

error in process sentinel: No manual entry for Words. 

It seems mouse-sel-mode has commandeered mouse-1 in some way.  The
tooltip I see when I hover over an entry in the SEE ALSO section, eg,
intro(1), has not changed however.

Simon.

I believe this bug is no longer present (the mouse code has changed a
lot in the meantime, but I can't reproduce this problem now).  Thanks
for the report.
