Comment(by Rmyers):

 Replying to [comment:4 kimquirk]:
 > Please add some information about what the user sees. This doesn't look
 like a blocker for 8.2. Probably should move to 9.1.

 Certainly not a blocker, as this is currently 'off the reservation' usage.
 I thought I described the user experience reasonably well. --- The
 expected behavior in a text window is that you can move the I-beam cursor
 with the mouse (er, trackpad), click to move the selection point, and drag
 to make a selection. In this case, the I-beam cursor moves, but clicking
 does not move the selection point, and dragging does nothing. Moving the
 selection point with the keypad, and extending a selection with
 shift/keypad does work.

 It would be nice for this to be fixed though, as a full functioning IDLE
 would sure seem to be a great tool for self-developing on the XO.
