bug#15001: 24.3.50; Help menubar with mouse left-click on Snow Leopard --with-ns.

[Keith David Bershatsky]

Dear Jan:

Tonight, I booted up the disk with Mountain Lion 10.8.3, and the issue is not 
present on that operating system.  I have three computers running Snow Leopard 
OSX 10.6.8 that probably all began with either 10.6 or 10.6.2 and then were 
upgraded with the MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.8.dmg, and the recommended installations 
from Apple using the update software window, with the exception of the last 
security patch which breaks the TruePreview plugin for Mail.app.  Attached is a 
screen-shot of the trackpad settings, which is the same on all three computers. 
 I have one Mac Pro tower from a few years ago, and two laptops -- one Macbook 
Air from about 2 to 3 years ago and one Mac Book Pro from about 2 to 3 years 
ago.  All three computers experience the same issue --- they are all running 
OSX 10.6.8 with a version of Emacs Trunk from a few days ago (i.e., 113798).  
The revisions "after" 113798 were crashing very often (e.g., when exiting with 
file buffers open), so I haven't been using post-113798 for the past few days 
:(  The two laptops have trackpads, and the desktop also has a Magic Trackpad 
at one station.  However, at the other station using the same desktop Mac Pro, 
I have a Cyborg Rat 7 and it suffers from the same issue (i.e., drag with just 
one left click on Help) -- the other menu options to the left of Help work just 
fine on all three computers.

Keith
