Subject: 24.2.50; dragging the mode-line selects other window

Hi,

resizing windows vertically with mouse-1 now selects the according
window.  In Emacs 23, you could drag any mode-line in the selected frame
without changing the selected window.  This is IHMO a regression.  I can
click the mode-line if I really want to select a window.

Steps to reproduce from emacs -Q:

1. C-x 2
2. C-x o
3. Drag the upper window's mode-line.

The upper window is selected when you release mouse-1.  This makes no
sense when I only wanted to enlarge the lower window.


Thanks,

Michael.

BTW, if I remove this last line in the code of `mouse-drag-line':

  (push event unread-command-events)

the behavior is like before.

The last line of `mouse-drag-line' should move into the preceding
`when' clause.

Should be fixed in revision 110673.  Bug closed.
