bug#49728: x11 primary selection with mouse

Hi, I'm writing a clipboard manager and notice some odd behaviour with emacs.
It seems to be setting the primary selection while mouse button is down and not on button up. So what happens is that you're continuously setting the selection as the user fiddles the mouse the highlight just the text they want.

I'm guessing this is because you're  just using the same code as keyboard highlighting.  doing it only on button up will reduce your traffic quite a bit... and allow me to not make an ugly hack 4x bigger than the regular code just to deal with emacs properly.
Thanks.
