Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the [email protected] mailing list. Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: In Emacs 22, the existing middle mouse button behavior over file/directory names, has been copied to the left mouse button, that is, visiting a file/directory buffer in an "other window". Although this behavior now has redundant bindings, this is not my primary concern. I am finding the new behavior to be quite annoying since, it turns out, I am a heavy user of the prior behavior. Here's why. I often use the left mouse button to move the cursor from one buffer window to another and to copy filenames in dired and buffer-menu buffers via highlighting with the mouse. Now, to get the former behavior, I have to remember to hold the left mouse button down for a while before letting go. Otherwise, if I just click it, in a buffer-menu or dired buffer, for example, that buffer might disappear and be replaced by a file buffer or another dired buffer. Perhaps there is a compelling reason to provide this new capability to the left mouse button, such as an attempt to accommodate those with a 2-button mouse. Whatever the reason, I believe it should be seen as an added behavior which shouldn't alter the old behavior. So, I'd like to propose this compromise: Switch the roles of the two bindings. That is, restore the old behavior. Then, to invoke the new behavior of visiting the file/directory in the "other window", add that binding to the scenario in which the user must hold the mouse button down for a bit. This changes the visiting of a file/directory to be a deliberate act and removes the chance that it could be an accidental one.
