Oh, ok then.
We need more opinions about but I think that actually the most familiar
behaviour is setting mouse--rectangle-track-cursor to t for most
users... but lets wait for other opinions/complains related.
On the other hand; when selecting backward the behaviour must be the
same independently of mouse--rectangle-track-cursor; as the cursor is
actually the rectangle corner in that situation right?
So it shouldn't be out of the rectangle (like in the picture before). Or
it should?
