"That" would be the behaviour you described above, which I cited but

Sorry, I really don't understand this type of communication. If you just
want to flame, fine by me. I just misunderstood this to be a real
feature request.

Here I don't see the relation to the point in question. As far as I

TrackingRect. And as we could implement the later without changing our
event handling, we should be able to do so with the former as well.
