Dragging, by default, marks a stream selection - a subsequent cursor 
move or mouse click should indeed clear it.  I can think of two 
scenarios where the selection will not be stream (i.e., where the cursor 
is not coupled to it and, therefore, you need Alt+U to deselect):
  1.- the default selection is set to e.g., character in Window > 
Preferences > LPEX Editor > Block.
  2.- the anchor of the selection had been already set (e.g., Alt+B - 
for a character selection), so subsequent mouse dragging will just 
extend it.

The selection type in effect can be queried from the LPEX command line:
  block.type

The move involves a copy and then a delete so, if it is done on the same 
lines, the result, though correct, may occasionally seem odd at first. 
If you have a specific scenario where things misbehave, please let me know.
