Huh?  Doesn't your editor window scroll as you drag-and-select?  I'm not
sure i understand the problem.

To select multiple lines, you can either mousedown in the line number margin
and drag like i explained before or...

Find the first line you want to select and click in the line number margin
as an easy way to place the cursor at the beginning of that line.  Then
scroll to the last line you want to select, hold down SHIFT, and then click
again in the line number margin.

Sorry if i'm missing your point entirely, but the original question was
about avoiding the accidental creation of a breakpoint when selecting a
block of code with the mouse.
