not just because I seem to have great difficulty click-changing layers without moving them, but aseprite can become greatly confused when this happens, and sometimes excludes the accidental movement from its “undo” history, and can crash if I touch something whose position in the space-time continuum has been disrupted, or simply sends layers to weird places surreptitiously between when I close the document and the next time I open it.  
I placed a [similar observation](https://community.aseprite.org/t/undo-can-fail-on-accidental-layer-movement/14633) in the bug reports section, but this line of thought ends up being both that and a feature request.
