In the context of if I disable LockedDrags it still happens, previous
behavior was that a 2 tap with movement would highlight only to the
extent of the movement, then it released
Now it never releases until an inactivity timeout or a new 2 tap

Additionally this is often not the result of intentionally wanting to
highlight anything, it just keeps happening inadvertently thru normal
touchpad use, probably more likely on very small touchpads

And then there is the also newly introduced loss of left click
altogether for a time based period, again this is from inadvertent
action(s), not sure what yet

(noting that when I say 2 tap I mean 2 single finger taps
