More on the debug behaviour of the `Insert Element' menu. If I `debug-on-entry sgml-insert-element' and use the menu, nothing happens, and the debugger is not invoked. If I use button3, the debugger in invoked as expected in the process of inserting the element. If I `debug-on-enty sgml-element-menu' then use the menu, the debugger in invoked, and when I continue, the element is inserted correctly. If I `debug-on-entry sgml-menu-ask' the debugger is invoked as expected by either the menu or button3, and on continuing, the element is inserted in both cases. Anything else I should try?
