I'm afraid I don't see any timing issue there, so
you'll have to illustrate that a little more (might be
my headache hitting me too, who knows...). I'm, of
course, assuming you're not talking about the
potential timing issue that would happen if you move
your mouse after reaching the desired spot
(overshooting).

My initial point was that it's easier to reach a
precise point with the mouse by moving it slowly,
which is (relatively speaking) a long time to hold
down a mouse button. Another case would be moving
something around to "see how it would look if...".

I might have overdone myself with the word ridiculous,
but I still think my point is valid.

Martin
