Issue selection bug in Issue Board

Summary

When trying to select an issues in the issue list while in manual sort mode, it happens very often that the selected/clicked issue doesn't get selected. Instead the selection remains on the currently selected issue. As a result you've to click sometimes at least two times on the same issue before it gets correctly selected.

Steps to reproduce

Environment

  • Browser: Firefox 115.0.3 (64-bit)
  • OS: MacOS Ventura 13.4.1 (22F82)

Possible fixes

Most likely the selection of the issue gets canceled because a drag event took place. When clicking an issue while moving the mouse it can happen very easily that a drag event gets triggered so the "drag threshold" has be be adjusted to avoid such unintentional drag events.

Some remarks on the UI: The fact that the cursor pointer icon changes already into the drag icon while hovering an issue shows that there is something wrong with the current drag implementation. The cursor drag icon should first appear if the user holds the left mouse button pressed and starts moving the mouse.
