    This is already fixed (a long time ago) in the mwheel package used
    with X (at least).

Great. I didn't realize that.

    Perhaps you are on Windoze which IIRC has native mouse wheel support
    but might not ignore mouse clicks while scrolling...

Yes, I am on Windows; I should have made that clear.

"So, how about adding the fix to Emacs with native mouse-wheel support (e.g.
Windows) also?", he suggested with trepidation.
