Even in the current implementation you need to press a mouse button before you can drag the view around. So I don't quite understand what is different in the new jmol. Can you elaborate on that?
What should be avoided is that you first have to press&release mouse button before you can press again & drag. At least not without any visual feedback that the first mouse click changed any state. If, say, some arrows appear then it would be fine imho.
