:) The reason for that change is to support the 'tap and wait' gesture 
to open the menu in Cuis. This is good for pen computers and 1-button 
mice, and having to move a bit the mouse to extend selection doesn't 
sound that bad to me. Anyway, 'tap and wait' is not working in Squeak, 
so it might make sense to reverse it.
