Yes, mouse-1 follows links in both Gnus and Info. grep and compile do 
not work. In addition, the highlighting in some lines of the grep output 
seems to be wrong. It seems that when the line does not have any 
preceding whitespace, the highlight extends out past the filename and 
line number, sometimes to the whole line, but I've seen partial lines 
(perhaps due to some character that is matching the regexp) and I think 
I've seen lines with no highlighting as well. Running M-x compile with 
the same grep command does not have this problem.
