Description of the Issue

I have always used Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C, and Ctrl-V to copy or move code. While I understand why others enjoy the drag-and-drop feature, for me the behavior is always unexpected. I always have to do an Undo afterwards. An option to identify whether to initiate drag-and-drop or just start a new selection is the enhancement I'd like to see.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

  1. Select some text by using the mouse
  2. Realize that you didn't select the text correctly
  3. Use the mouse to start selecting text again, starting somewhere within the previously selected text.

Expected Behavior

The mouse selects the text starting at the new initial drag point

Actual Behavior

The previously selected text is dragged elsewhere onto the editor.

Debug Information

N/A because the editor is working as expected by others who do use drag and drop.
