Yidong said, "if you move the mouse a little bit between the down and up events,
the mark gets set anyway". So it sounds like that "little-bit" setting, if only
a pixel or two, was too small. I would have guessed (incorrectly) that it would
have been at least half of a char-width.
But as I said, the best thing in a case like this, where different users would
anyway want/need different tolerances, would be to provide a user setting
(option) for the slop movement between down and up.
