SelectionChanged issue

[Eric Chatonet]

Xavier,

Idle or mouseWithin are sent repeatedly by the engine.
The delay is fixed according to the idleRate property (200  
milliseconds by default) for both messages.
Good to know...
But here it does not interest me since I don't want a plugin to  
change this property within the user IDE and interfere with his/her  
own settings...
