Replying to [comment:5 humdinger]:
> Delaying the highlighting until the mouse is moved would work for me
personally, but it might provoke another issue: a user may inadvertently
some times move the mouse while pressing CTRL+ALT and sometimes not. He
may wonder why a border highlights sometimes and sometimes it
doesn't...[[BR]][[BR]]
Since there seems to be no real way to totally avoid confusing situations,
so what's left is reducing the chances of them happening. [[BR]]
The delay does this for a large part. What you describe isn't so likely,
because a user that is doing a Ctrl-Alt-Del action will not touch his
mouse or even come anywhere near it, as a mouse is generally positioned
well away from the hands that operate the keyboard (even away from the
keyboard itself). [[BR]]
The user's mouse might only be inadvertently moved if something hits his
desk or similar situations...
In addition to the delay, one could have this extra resize-functionality
selectable in Tracker preferences and not on by default to reduce chances
of confusing (especially) novice users, but only if that doesn't hurt your
ego, Humdinger :)
