   Shouldn't buttons act on the down event, not the up event?

Many buttons do one thing on the down event and another on the up
event.  If there is only one thing to do, then I believe that it is
usually better to do it on the up event.  That provides the user with
one last chance to get out of it if he notices at the last second that
he made a mistake.

In any case, the problem we are discussing had nothing to do with up
or down events, but with tracking mouse motion, as I pointed out earlier.
