I don't think there's anything wrong with the documentation you
cite, and I thought I already explained why I thought so in this
discussion.
Well, now I'm confused. I reread the thread and I found nothing but
"I see nothing wrong with the doc string as it is" as an explanation
for not changing the doc string of 'mouse-start-secondary'. And I'm
still going to write that it's missing information about deselecting,
which could be useful.
As for description of 'M-mouse-1' in Emacs Manual, I will also write
that the "use @kbd{M-mouse-3} to set the other end and complete the
selection" part of the sentence below is unnecessary.
From KILLING.TEXI (L604-610):
@findex mouse-start-secondary
@kindex M-mouse-1
@item M-mouse-1
Set one endpoint for the @dfn{secondary selection}
(@code{mouse-start-secondary}); use @kbd{M-mouse-3} to set the other
end and complete the selection. This command cancels any existing
secondary selection, when it starts a new one.
But in this case, if you have a reason for this, that I cannot see,
I'll leave this one alone.
