@kindex C-Mouse-2 @r{(scroll bar)}
You can split a window horizontally or vertically by clicking
-@kbd{C-Mouse-2} in the mode line or the scroll bar. The line of
-splitting goes through the place where you click: if you click on the
-mode line, the new scroll bar goes above the spot; if you click in the
-scroll bar, the mode line of the split window is side by side with your
+@kbd{C-Mouse-2} in the mode line or the scroll bar. (This does not
+work in scroll bars implemented by X toolkits.) The line of splitting
+goes through the place where you click: if you click on the mode line,
+the new scroll bar goes above the spot; if you click in the scroll
+bar, the mode line of the split window is side by side with your
click.
