* Draw only the minimum borders needed for inactive windows. That is only the borders that separate the inactive window from a neighbor. Note that setting a non-zero window margin overrides this and causes all borders to be drawn. The old behavior of drawing all borders can be restored via the draw_minimal_borders setting in kitty.conf.

* When dragging to select with the mouse "grab" the mouse so that if it strays into neighboring windows, the selection is still updated (#624)
