It's amazing that in August 2015, this but filed in 2006 is still
affecting people. I sincerely hope that I'm an outlier.
I'm using a 2-button built-in touchpad as my pointing device to my
system 76 laptop. To fix this annoying click-and-miss-to-drag-resize-
window-or-select-text issue I edited the following two files:
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-evdev-trackpoint.conf
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-evdev-quirks.conf
and set
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
in both files. This fixed the problem in 14.04.1 Trusty Tahr for my
2-button laptop.
Here is my "xinput list"
xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ BisonCam, NB Pro id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]
Ffs, people, it's 2015. Get your shit together. :)

Fix Released
Status in xserver-xorg-input-evdev package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in xserver-xorg-input-mouse package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
Binary package hint: xorg
If the Emulate3Buttons is on (which it is by default), mouse click are
detected with a delay.
Example , try to enlarge a window :
- point on the windows edge
- press and hold left mouse button
- move the mouse
Expected :
- the window edge is dragged
Actual :
- as the mouse click is delayed, the system detects the click when the
pointer already moved off the window edge. Whatever is under the pointer in
this momemt, will be clicked.
Bug known upstream : https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1752
Workaround :
Set in xorg.conf in the InputDevice section for the mouse :
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
