This analysis was wrong.
mouse-track-insert between buffers DOES work in 21.2-b40, 21.5-b1, and
even 21.1.14 until one performs
C-x C-b (list-buffers)
Try this:
1. Start XEmacs
2. C-x 2 (split-window-vertically)
3. C-x b (switch-to-buffer) tmp RET
4. Depress Control key in tmp buffer, move mouse into *scratch* buffer
and double click a word there.
This works fine. Word will be inserted in tmp buffer. Great!
Now do
C-x C-b (list-buffers)
and mouse-track-insert now longer works!
Instead it will activate a region on the double-clicked work and
display set mark in the echo area.
Any clues anybody?
