Comment (by humdinger):

 This new behaviour is starting to get more than annoying. I lost a few
 files already...

 I have a query window with mails open. I click on a mail and press DEL,
 not realizing that quietly the Desktop has focus. Instead of the clicked
 mail, the last selected file on the Desktop gets deleted. If you don't pay
 close attention, you don't notice that the selected mail file didn't
 disappear. Before you know it, it's too late to do a ALT+Z on the Desktop
 and you may even have emptied the Trash before you notice a file/folder
 missing on the Desktop.

 Between losing files and having to endure the MouseUp delay, I chose the
 delay...

 I fnd it kind of amazing that nobody else notices these issues.
