That sounds like the expected behavior to me. setmousemode (which is 
just what the M key uses) does work, but it affects the standard 
setting, i.e. the bottommost in the stack, which is not in effect when 
there are others above it on the stack, like the one you just pushed 
(and you explicitly set that to the previous standard setting).

Not sure what you mean by that. Yes, it's not a mode, it's an opaque 
token (or cookie or ticket or whatever you want to call it) that you 
can't use for anything but popmousemode().

If you can explain to me what you're trying to achieve with that code, I 
can perhaps clarify the documentation. I suspect that you're confused 
about how pushmousemode/popmousemode work (and if so, that's probably my 
fault for not explaining it properly, or maybe even mis-designing it).
