Subject: bug#2149: 23.0.60; docview set slice when avoidance mode active

Selecting from menu-bar > DocView > Set Slice ;;;doc-view-set-slice-using-mouse
I am unable to freely move the mouse over the doc to set x & y for slice.
Mouse keeps jumping back to the right fringe per avoidance settings.
*BUT* if i move across the top of the menubar and/or *very* rapidly
move the mouse to left fringe I can get a few moments of mouse trigger
time before mouse re-banishes to right.

This is not intuitive behavior. If possible, when avoidance mode is
active the menu option should not be available and/or avoidance should
be temporarily overidden when doc-view-set-slice-using-mouse has been
invoked.
