I agree, this is a problem. It would be nice if widget events were returned
for all mouse buttons (as they are in draw widgets), then it would be possible
to have (say) left button to perform action and middle button for help. Perhaps
RSI could consider sending events from all buttons in a future release and
adding an EVENT.BUTTON to the EVENT structure for all widget types.
