Hi,

That sounds reasonable. Then to move the object less than the slop rect would have to be achieved using the cursor keys? Do the keys work on all objects? I seem to remember some issues with this in the past, but can't remember the details.

All the Best

Hi,

Yes, time would work, or would be better to have it so you had to
mouse up, mouse down (select the object) and then mouse down again to
move it.

Sorry to be a dissenting voice here, but having to do *that* would
drive me crazy. :-) In fact, one of the things that has happened in
recent years in OS X has been that in order to drag text you have to
hilite it, hold the mouse down for 1/2 a second or so, and then drag.
It *used* to be that you could just hilite, click and drag with no
delay, but apparently it was causing some issues for some people
dragging text when they didn't want to. But the current behavior drives
me nuts because I was conditioned to the earlier behavior.

I think what's needed here is that the IDE implement what used to be
called a "slop rect" - a region of a couple of pixels around the mouse
location in all directions. If the mouse moves ONLY within the slop
rect, then the underlying object doesn't move, but dragging the mouse
out of the slop rect would cause the object to be dragged.

Just my 2 cents,
