Public bug reported:
For me, this is a very annoying regression that has occurred in Precise
in comparison to 11.10.
Whenever I double-click to drag something on my laptop, such as
moving/resizing windows, the dragging continues until I give an extra
tap to stop it, instead of when I take my finger off the trackpad. As
such, it is easy to forget to make this extra tap, leading to unintended
interactions, and it also impedes my workflow.
This behavior is also inconsistent with my physical trackpad buttons,
which stop dragging once released.
Even worse, spin boxes / other UI elements that let you normally hold
down a mouse button for continued effect and stop once released don't
stop until this extra tap is done. This results in a significant loss of
precision, since in many of these cases the continuation of the effect
occurs too quickly with relation to the extra time needed to register an
extra tap.
