bug#18212: 24.3.92; Left-click on a button is treated as mouse-2

[Matthew Woodcraft]

If click with my left mouse button (normally mouse-1) on "button" text,
Emacs appears to think I clicked mouse-2 (normally the middle button).


Recipe to reproduce:

emacs -Q --exec "(global-set-key (kbd \"<down-mouse-2>\") 'clipboard-yank)" 
--exec "(info)"

Left-click on one of the hyperlinks.

Emacs says
  Buffer is read-only: #<buffer *info*>
rather than following the hyperlink.


Using describe-key with a left click suggests that Emacs thinks that,
when over a 'button', the left click is mouse-2:
«
<down-mouse-2> at that spot runs the command clipboard-yank, which is
an interactive compiled Lisp function in `menu-bar.el'.
»
If I click somewhere that isn't a 'button', Emacs thinks it's mouse-1.


The problem didn't happen with the released Emacs 24.3.

This Emacs was built from the emacs-24 branch as of 2014-08-03.
