Understood. We can restore that functionality. <smile> I've opened a bug
for it and attached a patch that works for me here:

You'd just be clicking; not selecting. It's analogous to the difference
between arrowing and shift+arrowing: In the former, you're moving the
caret/cursor; in the latter, you are moving it as well as selecting
everything in between your former location and the new one.

But what if you had a need to Control+click? It's easier to just remove
the modifiers from the click-related bindings.

Thanks again for the report.  Take care.
