See Bugzilla 1884. I submitted a report saying that it shouldn't send the 
mouse message to the stack, and Kevin disagreed and marked it as "Not a 
bug". I can sympathize with his reasoning - though I still think it would 
be an improvement for minimal, if any, risk.

and it still seems to be working without causing *me* any problems .... 
though I haven't got round to putting it into every project I do yet, so 
it's not been thoroughly tried out.
