This is correct, the raise happens on press if that's the action you configured for what happens on click on inactive window. This is configurable. If you don't like the default of "Activate, Raise & Pass Click" change it to "Activate & Pass Click".

Changing the action to be performed on release instead of press would be rather weird. The window would not activate till you release. That's not what a user (and applications) expects. If we had any chance to know that the user intends to drag we could perform a different strategy.

To me the issue is fixed. This bug report contains multiple suggestions on how it should behave. Several of them even contradicting. If we should only mark it as fixed when all of them are fixed, it won't happen. I consider it as fixed as the actual problem is fixed.

Now as I'm the only one here who probably has tried this out, I ask you to first try it before starting discussions about the state of this bug report. Also I'm not interested in discussions whether it's fixed or wontfixed. I have better things to do with my dev time (like fixing 14 year old bug reports).
