From: Benjamin Riefenstahl <b.riefenstahl <at> turtle-trading.net> To: 29538 <at> debbugs.gnu.org Subject: bug#29538: 26.0.90; Gnus, group buffer: Mouse click on empty space selects group Date: Sat, 02 Dec 2017 21:15:37 +0100
The behaviour of mouse clicks has changed in the Gnus group buffer from Emacs 25 to Emacs 26. In Emacs 25, when I clicked on empty space to the right of lines or after the last group, this did nothing. This was usefull to just activate the Emacs frame. In Emacs 26, clicking after lines opens the group on the line where I clicked or it opens the last group, if I click in the space after the last group. As I use the mouse mostly to activate Emacs and once Emacs is active I use the keyboard for most of my interaction, this is a rather annoying change for me. I would guess that for some reason, in Emacs 25 the lineend was inactive and in Emacs 26 it is now activated for mouse clicks. I currently do not even understand how activation for mouse clicks work in this buffer, so I can't provide a fix myself. --- In GNU Emacs 26.0.90 (build 1, i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.25) of 2017-12-02 built on justinian Repository revision: 8227087194e0817b984ce3b15099f5eae4dc011c Windowing system distributor 'The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.11604000 System Description: Debian GNU/Linux 8.9 (jessie) Recent messages: Reading active file via nnfolder...
