> The current selection behavior will select a character if the mouse drags even one pixel. This is much more sensitive that typical implementations and can result in inadvertently selecting a single character when simply clicking on the screen, wiping out the clipboard contents.  Also, you can typically drag back to the starting point to effectively cancel a selection.
> Most terminal emulators require dragging from the one half of the character to the other to actually select it, which could be implemented here too to reduce initial sensitivity.  In addition, dragging back to the anywhere within the half of the character you started dragging will cancel the selection and thus not change the clipboard contents.
