No, in case you have the third button emulated, the "down" event
starts to wait for
- a movement event
- an up event
- the other button within a certain time interval or
- the interval to timeout
Without any of these happening the machine (mouse driver) won't
know if this "down" event was meant to be a "down" event or just
the introduction of the emulation special case. If you don't
move your mouse or don't release the button / press the other
button too, you will have to wait for the timeout (some 50 ms).
This is when users experience delayed menu popup and the like.
Unless I got your description wrong and you do release the button
and X doesn't notice. Then I couldn't help you. But it might be
helpful to have the above emulation "discussion" and its side
effect of delay in the archive "for the record". :)
