When you button-2-click on text acme executes the word. If you want to execute something larger with spaces, you highlight the whole thing and then button-2-click on it to execute the whole thing.
When you button-3-click on text in a file list buffer acme loads the file with that name. I should be able to highlight a file name with spaces and then button-3-click on it to load the file. This would be totally consistent. It there a reason this hasn't been done? Thanks.
