<title>Adjust the mouse drag threshold</title>
22
<p>When you click something, it's not uncommon for your hand to move
23
a little between the time you press the mouse button and the time you
24
release it. For this reason, dragging only starts if you move the pointer
25
past a certain threshold, so that you don't accidentally start dragging
26
every time you click. You can control the minimum distance required
27
to start dragging.</p>
