Public bug reported:
After upgrading to 13.10, click-and-drag no longer works correctly
(system-wide).
Steps to reproduce:
* Open a window where you can highlight text
* Move the cursor to the start of the text you want to select, using the
touchpad
* Press the right-click button and immediately start dragging using the touchpad
* Eventually let go of the button and stop dragging
On Ubuntu 13.04 this worked fine.
After upgrading to 13.10, however, click events are only registered with a
large delay. So doing the steps above actually causes the following event
sequence.
* The mouse moves along the drag path
* The button-down event registers long way into the drag (or maybe at the end
of the drag path)
* The remainder of the mouse motion events then happen
* The button-up event triggers
(I verified the event order using `xinput test`)
Workaround is to wait (maybe about a second) between pressing the right
mouse button and starting to drag.
Needless to say, this makes using Ubuntu pretty annoying.
