Re: Bug#142608: emacs21: please apply flyspell patch from preview-latex package

[Rob Browning]

A recent report suggests Emacs 21.2 may have a bug which interacts
with the preview-latex package.  I've included the two Emacs patches
provided by the preview-latex source below in case you haven't
received them yet through other channels.

Please let me know if you'd like me to include these patches in the
current Debian Emacs 21.2 package.

Thanks

Here are the patches from the preview-latex source
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/preview-latex):

Apply this patch only if middle-mouse clicks on preview-icons paste
instead of toggling when using mouse-drag mode.  After version 21.1 of
Emacs, this should be fixed already.
