Cross-references in Info state the name of the _node_, not the name of
the _section_.  The node is called "Accessing Mouse", the
corresponding section's name is "Accessing Mouse Events".

So I think the reference is correct, and this is not a bug.  Am I
missing something?

Thanks, but I'm not convinced, so I'm closing this bug.
