How to turn off selection marquee in playlists (click/drag to select m

About half the time when I click on a playlist entry with the intention of dragging it somewhere, when I start dragging the mouse, fb2k starts drawing a selection marquee selecting other playlist entries.  This drives me nuts.  Is it possible to turn off this action?  Selecting multiple files is always possible by holding down control or shift, I find the selection marquee redundant and inconvenient.

Click and release to select the file, then click and drag to drag it, just like in Windows Explorer.

It's not possible to tun the Marquee off, and considering the developers seem to like to stick to Window's example of implementation of such things, I doubt you will ever see an option to turn it off.

I second that, the selection marquee thingie has yet to be useful for something to me. Plus it's pretty annoying that you have to -slowly- click twice on a song in a playlist only to drag it somewhere.

Perhaps you need to adjust Window's double-click speed to something faster.
