   This might explain the behavior if the CallBack was stepping in before
the OS gets a chance to record the mouse movement/click. This strikes me as
odd though as I would have expected the OS to have already noted the change
*before* the event gets signaled across the EventV vector. I'll give it a
whirl with a CallAfter and see what happens...
