JQuery Multiselect widget clicking not working that great

[Don Schoeman]

PHPDevShell makes use of a third party JQuery Multiselect widget. The problem with the widget is that when using clicking to select/deselect items the click sometimes doesn't register as a click but as a drag instead. The reason is that when you click and while the mouse button is down the mouse pointer moves even just 1 pixel then the click is not registered. When using a sensitive mouse this is quite frustrating.

As per the Revision 848: Disabled dragging in the jquery multiselect widget and increased animation speed when selecting/deselecting items. Although dragging doesn't work now, clicking works a lot better and one can double click on items to select/deselect them.

I agree with the symptom ; anything from the widget developer? maybe a minimal distance setting could be a right balance

Unfortunately the particular widget is not under active development. Very little development have taken place over the last three years.

I've tried a number of alternative multiselect widgets but even the best are bug ridden and lacks features so we are kind of stuck on the one we are already using.
