It's hard to search for answers on the web because of the difficulty to find specific search terms. So please apologize if my questions are trivial. 1) If I click the scrollbar and move the mouse, the text moves accordingly: OK. But if I release the button and the pointer is outside of the Emacs window, the scroll bar jumps back to its original position. Only if the pointer is inside the window, the scroll bar stays at the new position. How can I change this behavior such that the scroll bar keeps its new position regardless where the mouse pointer is at release time? Of course, this issue might not be unrelated to Emacs. 2) When I release the mouse button and the scroll bar stays at the new position, Emacs selects the text between the old and the new position (it is highlighted). How can I stop Emacs from doing so? In other words: no selection, buffer-altering, etc. Thanks, Ulrich GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.0) of 2010-03-29 on rothera, modified by Debian Linux herzberg 2.6.32-24-generic-pae #39-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 28 07:39:26 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
