Scrollbars of other applications behave like this: To scroll, one presses the left mouse button on the slider. Then one drags the mouse around. On release of the mouse button, the slider remains, where it was at button release time. Regardless if the mouse pointer is on the slider or not. A pre-existing selection is not affected. Emacs 23 (as it is configured for me now) behaves differently on button release: - If the mouse pointer is not on the slider, the slider jumps back to where it was when the drag started. That is, where it was when the mouse button was *pressed*. A pre-existing selection is not affected. - If the mouse pointer is (moved back) on the slider, the slider remains where it was at button release time. A pre-existing selection is replaced by the area that the scroll action moved over between button press and button release. Can I somehow configure the "normal" X11 behavior, which former versions of emacs used to follow too?
