primary (`Normal`) pane is preserved on a pager switch (both callers pass `Contexts().Normal.GetView()`), so
a selection on the *focused secondary* pane still isn't preserved — a pre-existing, broader gap (its scroll
isn't preserved either), left as-is.
5. **Click-and-drag range anchored wrong / dead on context lines** (`8c3d52cca`). Dragging after a click turns
a hunk selection into a range, but it was anchored at the change block's far end (where selecting a hunk
leaves the gocui range anchor), and on a context line — where the click leaves no range anchor — dragging
just moved the single selected line. Root cause: a click can show a whole hunk, so the gocui range anchor
holds the block's far end, not the clicked line, and the clicked line can't be read back. Fix: remember each
mouse-down's view line on `MainContext.dragAnchorViewLine` (set in both click entry points —
`placeOrHideInitialDiffSelection` for the focus click, `selectClickedDiffLine` for the already-focused/
cross-pane click), and a new `MouseLeft`+`ModMotion` binding (`onDragInFocusedView`) re-anchors the range
there (Mode→Range, hunk off) while gocui's own `SetCursor` tracks the dragged end. Works for the focus click
and the already-focused click, on change and context lines. Drag anchor is a plain view line (no re-wrap
between mouse-down and its drag, so no patch-identity needed). The old (buggy) behaviour came for free from
`selectDiffHunk` leaving a range anchor + gocui moving the cursor on drag; nothing handled the drag
explicitly before.
