Originally reported on Google Code with ID 650

The multiple selection mechanism is confusing because you have to release the mouse
to start selecting. It should be disabled until it works properly.

Right now, selection is completely modal:
1. mouse down
2. mouse up
3. move mouse to select
4. mouse down
5. mouse up

It should be
1. mouse down
2. move mouse to select
3. mouse up

Try the last version of Mondrian. I improved a bit the drag and drop. Unfortunately,
the behavior that you describe is not easy to get in Morph :-(
Give a try now, and if it does not work, and I will remove it.

It's better, but there are still two problems:
- Releasing the mouse after starting the selection does not delete the selection rectangle
(you have to force a refresh)
- If you select a node A, and then you change your mind and change the selection to
only include node B, the first node A will still be selected. You should reset the
selection of nodes when moving the mouse.

I just tried in the latest image, and it seems that the mechanism for multiple selection
is not working at all anymore.

I tried with both Elliot's VM and the Jenkins one. Can you confirm?

I guess this won't be fixed.
