Further notes:
- It's not just while focusing into the window, but that's when the
behaviour is most annoying.
- The problem is worst in the "end of line" space to the right of text
in the terminal. In that area, any mouse movement (seemingly even a
sub-pixel movement) will cause a selection and effectively erase the
copy buffer.
- The problem is still somewhat annoying even in the non-end-of-line text area
depending on where in the character your cursor lands (to the left or right or
near the center):
- If you cursor is on the right half of a character, any horizontal movement
will cause a selection. In emacs, by comparison, you have to drag to the end
of the character before it's selected.
- If you cursor is on the left half of a character, it nicely allows you to
drag half a character in either direction. This would be desirable in the
above case as well, IMO.
- Vertical movement is ok because you can move a whole line height without
causing a selection.
If I get ambitious, maybe I'll look at the source code myself.
I'm running a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10. In my previous installation
I was so annoyed that I installed konsole (yes, under gnome), but that
comes with a lot of unwanted KDE packages.
