Bug

Description

When follow_mouse=2 is set, it seems to trigger focus shift both on mouse press and on mouse release.

Triggering it on mouse release is harmful and this issue shows the reason why.

The problem is, if 2 windows are side by side, as is common for tiling WMs, When you say try to select text in the window on the right, you click and drag your mouse over the text, and maybe your cursor accidentally goes a little over to the window on the left. Then you release the mouse to confirm the selection, but oops, now your focus is on the wrong window.

There are a few possible solutions to this, but disabling focus shift on mouse release for this follow_mouse option is the simplest fix.

How to reproduce

• Set follow_mouse=2
• Open 2 windows side by side
• Try to select something in one of the windows, and when you release the mouse button after you've made your selection, make sure your cursor is on the other window.
