Slow Cursor Select
I use both Ubuntu 10.04 and XP on the same computer, depending on what I need
to do.
Ubuntu has a usability problem with selection using the cursor.
In XP if I position the cursor where I want to begin selection, press
the left button and move the mouse to select text, the left button
action is instant and no errors occur.
In Ubuntu on the same machine, pressing the left mouse button to begin
selection has a delay that causes errors. The start of selection effect
is delayed by about a second or so, causing the first part of the
intended selection to be missed if I don't proactively think "WAIT or
you will have an error!" and then proceed.
In comparison the difference is VERY clear and highly annoying.
This is present in all apps and in the OS functions, so I presume it is
an OS problem.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
