Drag the mouse up above the top of the text window

It doesn't work in quite the same way for me as described. For me, if I pull the mouse up completely outside the window, etc, I don't necessarily see this effect. However, if I slowly pull the mouse up a pixel or two outside the text area, I can reproduce this quite easily.

Looks like an error in how emacs detects the text location being clicked. In fact, I can jump to the bottom (no selection) simply by clicking just above the textarea.

Changed in emacs21:
importance: Undecided → Low
