<title>Adjust the mouse drag threshold</title>
21
<p>When you click something, it's not uncommon for your hand to move
22
a little between the time you press the mouse button and the time you
23
release it. For this reason, dragging only starts if you move the pointer
24
past a certain threshold, so that you don't accidentally start dragging
25
every time you click. You can control the minimum distance required
26
to start dragging.</p>
