I have the same frustration -- so with my proposed change, dragging the mouse works as it always did, i.e. it copies the link text. It only follows the link if you CLICK the mouse button. And if you really want to set point in the link, just hold the mouse-1 button down a litte longer. -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
