You extend the region with mouse-3 in Emacs, so dragging would not enter into it. However, I see the point if you for example select qwerty and then descide y should not be part of the selection. Then you could first have to click outside the selection and then redo the drag. But I use mouse-3 anyway, so it would be the same for me. Point taken though. Jan D.
