DragStart Event produces a Release Event before it. about enyo HOT 4 CLOSED

I just fixed up the docs a little bit for the release event in c5b7c47.

The idea behind issuing a release event when dragging is that you can highlight something when you hold and when you start dragging the hold is released and the highlight is removed.

Can you share what your use case is where this might be problematic?

I see the purpose for the events, it is just at first glance the
"release" event seems to be redundant and mislabeled because as I
stated before the user has not "released" it yet. I understand like
the "hold" event it is an internal event and not a user initiated
event. In my view the "dragstart" is sufficient enough to signify in
your use case to remove the highlight.

The more I think of it the more I am also seeing the "hold" event
being a nice to have but not necessary event. The less events being
dispatched the better but this seems to be a semantics issue now
though after your explanation. I just wanted to express my view with
my first impressions of the framework.

Thanks for the input.

The names lack a bit of intuitiveness I agree, but we figured that a simple name that was documented clearly enough was better than a long, hard to remember one, such as cursorMovedAfterPointerHeldInPositionForALongTime.

I'll try and update the docs a little more so that hold and release explicitly refer to a point on the screen being held and released, not the mouse button.

If you can think of some better names for hold and release, we would certainly consider changing them.

Closing out - issue quite old and not a priority to retest and assess current behavior.
