For me, the filename and line number shows the highlight face on
mouse-over in grep buffers, but none of the line responds to mouse-1.
The whole line responds to mouse 2. mouse-1-click-follow-links is at its
default setting of 450, and I am not aware of any other customizations
that affect this. This must be a bug, I think.
