-# The `bind-key -T copy-m...` let a single click do selection clearing for us.
+# A plain click (MouseDown then MouseUp, no drag) leaves copy-mode: back to
+#   the prompt, selection dropped. A drag sends MouseDrag/MouseDragEnd instead
+#   of MouseUp, so it keeps the scroll position and selects as usual. A click
+#   on another pane still switches to it.
 # The `bind -n MouseDrag1Pane if -Ft= ...` changes the default binding of
 #   MouseDrag1Pane, the only difference is that we use `copy-mode -eM` instead
 #   of `copy-mode -M`, so that WheelDownPane can trigger copy-mode to exit when
