Hmm. with transient-mark-mode off, it goes from the last position of the 
_point_ on X11 to wherever you clicked mouse-3, going into temporarily 
active mode.  Since emacs famously keeps the point onscreen 
come-hell-or-high-water, that doesn't help for larger-than-screen.

That is pretty similar behaviour to X11 emacs 22.3 with t-m-m off, mind!

And x11 emacs 22.3 also deactivates when transient-mark-mode is on and 
you c-spc then mouse-1 in my testing, so maybe this was some NS-specific 
adjustment that's been lost?
