- I think this is an X11 bug related to two-button mice. The same thing
- happens in Emacs and other X apps on my two-button system, and it
- doesn't happen on ARDI's three-button system. My guess is that when X
- sees a mouse down event, it doesn't know if you're trying to hit both
- mouse buttons "simultaneously" to emulate the third button, or if you
- really do just want that single button. Once the mouse moves, or the
- button is released, the X server knows that you actually wanted just
- the single button and the event is sent on to the X app.

- I also like realtime scrolling better, but because those aren't the
- Mac semantics we would almost certainly break many programs if we
- tried to do this.
