Get error:

 Macros with mouse clicks are not supported by this command

Sometimes I do not see this problem, but most of the time I do.
There is no such problem with Emacs 24.5 or prior, at least.

Not reproducible on my system.

I can get this error with the following (also in 24.5):

emacs -Q

<click somewhere>
M-x edit-kbd-macro
C-h l

I guess the times when you see the problem are when the lossage
happens to include a mouse click?

Perhaps it's a problem with the build, then.

But I suggest you keep trying.  As stated, occasionally
I do not see it, but I see it nearly all the time (with
this build).

I did, and failed.

I can't reproduce this on current master with the above recipe.  Are you
still seeing this?

I can reproduce on emacs-26, but not on master; so I'll close the bug as
fixed in 27.1.

Yes. I just tried it with `emacs -Q' with Emacs 26.3.  (I can't speak for master.)

The first time I tried the recipe I did not get the error; `C-h l' acted normally.

I followed the recipe again, in the same session, having done nothing in the meantime, I believe, and I got the error.  The second time I followed the recipe I used `C-b C-b C-b', but otherwise I did the same thing.

I think you just have to try a few times and you will see the error.  At least if you have the MS Windows Emacs 26.3 build (64-bit).  That's what I'm using.

Did it again (new Emacs session (-Q)), but with debug-on-error.

It worked correctly the first time, raised the error the second time.  Here's the backtrace:
