For me it's mostly annoying during the time after I've put controls
onto a card but before I've got them finally positioned. Once they're
where I want them, I lock their positions and it's not a problem
anymore. If there is a way "screen out" inadvertent moves associated
with mouse clicks, I'm all for it.
