Subject: bug#12731: 24.2.50; dragging the mode-line selects other window
Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2012 15:14:37 +0200

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.
