Deselect text on buffer drop (middle mouse button)

#1

Hello,

Is there any way to cause selected text to be deselected on Linux when dropping the buffer with the middle mouse button. I know this probably seems like a small thing, but it has made me stop using this editor (which I like very much otherwise). Most editors on Linux will deselect the text and place the cursor at the end of the text that was dropped (ie; the drop site or what is under the mouse pointer). It would be awesome, if ST could do this too. I don’t know, if this would be considered a bug or a feature request though. Basically, the problem is that hitting any key after the drop, modifies or deletes the selected text (depending on the key pressed). I can’t really imagine a scenario where the current behavior would be wanted, so I feel like it is a bug.

Thanks,
-S
