Ah, I see what this is now. Would that even echo mouse events?

No, this is definitely how it is reporting mouse events. I typed "Some
Text" and clicked on the S, and this is what it showed for it:
S o m e SPC T e x t ESC [ M SPC $ ( ESC [ M # $ ( C-h l
It makes sense that it would do that, because just saying
<down-mouse-1> does not tell you where in the text you clicked.
Also, if I type ESC [ M SPC $ ( ESC [ M # $ ( with the cursor on the
t, it does indeed go back to the S. It even echos "down-mouse-1" at
the bottom. As for scrolling, it seems that the command is different
depending on where my mouse is (I think), which makes sense because I
set the "Mouse Wheel Follow Mouse" setting from customize to on (I
couldn't figure out what the emacs variable name for that is called).
