Default Only Recognize Right Click on Sth When Mouse Doesn't Move

I have a serious problem with constantly unintended right clicking stuff due to fairly easy improvable coding.

Basically i use the mouse to turn which means i'm constantly 'right clicking' when i turn.

Now playing a tank class this is really getting a problem since when a mob dies in front of me and i try to turn a bit i constantly get the loot window and can't continue to fight more mobs if i pulled a group.

Other annoying situations are when you are standing near an NPC or group of NPCs (merchants) and want to turn around. Everytime i turn it opens a merchant window.

2 Problems cause this:
- Extremely large click box on NPC's/corpses etc. You can right click sth even when the mouse is on the other side of the screen.
- Wrong recognition of 'right click' actions, that is a right click event is recognized always even when the mouse moves between the mousdown and mouseup event.

Solution:
- Smaller click box for NPC's/corpses
AND/OR
- Only recognize a 'right click' for opening corpses, merchant window etc. when the mouse doesn't move between the mousedown and mouseup events. Do this at least when turning with mouse is activated in options. I think this is how original EQ1 worked, at least i don't remember i ever had that problem in the original.

This would make the game a lot better playable while using the mouse to turn, especially when you are a tank because you will always power loot (even annoying when soloing) and worse you will not be able to fight multiple mobs unless you loot up dead corpses in front of you which is also bad unless you get rid of the habit of turning with the mouse which is even badder.

If anyone knows a good workaround please let me know.
