Yes, I agree this is a bug. Below is a patch for fixing the bug and a
proposal for a ChangeLog entry.

        * textmodes/artist.el (artist-mouse-choose-operation) call
        `tmm-prompt' instead of `x-popup-menu' if we cannot popup
        menus. Bug noticed by Eli Zaretskii <address@hidden>.

        * textmodes/artist.el (artist-mouse-choose-operation)
        (artist-down-mouse-1): call (new) function
        `artist-compute-up-event-key'.

The patch is against the latest from the git/cvs repository as of
yesterday (Sunday).  The patch is made by me.

BRs
Tomas
