Offhand I agree with Sven that #6415 was a "convenient" bug (see bug
report), but appropriate "mode" indicia is called for, I lack the 
imagination to design what it could be.

But for those who regard this as a bug, has anyone given thought to 
mapping XWindow LeaveNotify to the same (or similar) logic invoked
by releasing the contol key *in* the image window? (turning it into 
a kind of default control key release...) Offhand -- again! --
this would provide a basis for fixing the bug, and those of us who
regard it a "feature" could invoke Yet Another Preference Toggle
Button (!) to disable the LeaveNotify addenda. 

I haven't looked at the logic and make no claim as to workability
of this. I'll peek this evening. (US East Coast time)

Be good, be well
