> ... and slide my pointer/finger off of the button into a safe space before I release Exactly the same. Now I do agree with Carmack on this but, like you, I've been "trained" that the action happens on release and so, unconsciously, over the decades, I've come to fix misclicks by not releasing inside the button but outside the button. I don't use the mouse that much but this change would still be problematic for me. At the very least if an UI implements that, then the UI should show that the button is released immediately (even if the mouse button ain't released), to make it clear the action registered.
