I can understand that actually being a design choice for some circumstances,
however, I think in other circumstances there should be a way to defeat this
behavior. (Of course my workaround with a " " prompt seems to do that.)
I'm using read-char-exclusive (to answer an earlier question in this thread) so
I can input chars one by one and ignore mouse events. This is part of a
typewriter simulator that I posted about on gnu.emacs.sources; it's a
relatively useless but somewhat entertaining little piece of code.
But what I think I've heard here is that maybe I should stay with my slightly
odd but functional workaround for now.
