[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
After reading more of the code in mouse.el, I found that
mouse-save-then-kill is the only function that allows using the mouse
to set/resize rectangular regions. I'm attaching a patch that fixes
all three use cases for this function: setting the region initially,
resizing the region, and killing the region. I've also made sure it
works correctly when mouse-drag-copy-region is set to t. Hope it helps.
