Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

1. Enable "Initiate click when stopping mouse pointer" option.
2. Select "Choose of click beforehand"

When you move and stop the mouse pointer it shows an animation of blue color filling the pointer at the end of which it clicks. If the mouse is moved at the right time i.e. just when the timer expires, this results in a drag.

E.g.
1. On a text page, this will select text.
2. If on a window edge this will resize the window.

etc.
Although not a serious issue, it's really annoying.

Hope to see a fix soon.

Thanks,
Nithin.

Thanks for reporting the bug; I am indeed able to reproduce it. However, on my system, the drag lasts only the fraction of the second until the automatic click happens. But you are right that there should not be any drag.
