Reproduction steps

• make emacs
• say n to run tests
• be in Normal state
• hold ctrl+alt and try mouse-dragging a rectangle

Expected behavior

Should drag a rectangle (as it does when you're in emacs-state and use C-M-mouse-1)

Actual behavior

Drags a regular regions as if C and M were not held.

Further notes

A rectangular region can also be marked using the mouse: click and drag C-M-mouse-1 from one corner of the rectangle to the opposite.
