Details

In bug 1764148 a pixel based deadzone was added for triggering the "drag to update" feature.

Julian came up with two ideas to improve this behavior:

  1. Add a time-based deadzone, i.e. only trigger the feature after pressing the mouse button for more than N milliseconds.
  2. Use the value's bounding rect instead of a fixed number of pixels.

The latter might need some minimum so that the feature is not triggered by accident and a maximum to avoid issues with long numbers.
A combination of both is probably the best approach for this.
