Visual DND too sensitive?

I frequently accidentally move text in AbiWord when selecting text then
clicking in the middle of selected text, intending to reposition the
cursor. It seems that it only takes 1 or 2 pixels of mouse movement to
initiate the visual DND of text, and this is simply far too sensitive.
Whilst it's only a simple undo away from restoring parity, it's just
frustrating when it occurs regularly.

I imagine, given that I'm using a PC all day every day, that this would
afflict far less computer savvy users of AbiWord. Or indeed anybody
who doesn't have a rock-steady mouse hand.

Shouldn't it require maybe 5 (or some arbitrarily not-small number of)
pixels of movement before starting to move the text?
