Trying to mouse-wheel scroll while selecting text doesn't update selection

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Mousedown over text
2. Scroll using mousewheel

Text doesn't get selected. If you move the mouse it'll update the selection.

This is actually common behavior among other editors (Visual C#, OpenOffice 
Writer, EditPlus all exhibit this behavior). The only editor I found that does 
update selection when wheeling is FlashDevelop, and it does that with an 
awkward delay.

Not sure whether we want to follow common behavior here or roll our own. Fixing 
this would just be a matter of hooking the mouse-move handler to the 
mouse-wheel event.

Hmm, there might be a point in not having it update (so you can get your 
bearings? Not sure). 
On the other hand, if you don't want to select text, how about you don't hold 
the mouse button down.

I say we update, since the user is telling us to update (mouse is down).
