Two quick cursor moves register as a click-and-drag

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

1. Move the cursor using the touchpad, twice, with a very short finger-lift in 
between.
2. Do it over text to see the text get selected.

Because the first drag was not in-place (ie. it is an obviously intentional 
cursor move), you would expect the second one to NOT be treaded as a 
click-and-drag. On most laptops, the second movement is only treated as a drag 
if the first press did NOT move. remotedroid treats both scenarios as a 
click-and-drag, presumably because it doesn't check whether the first gesture 
moved outside some threshold.

The only workaround without disabling Tap to click is to lower the tap speed in 
settings (but this makes the double-tap to click-and-drag nearly impossible.
