app/vmui: hits chart interaction is confusing due to drag-only selection behavior #1057
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
Hits chart bars are not clickable. Instead, the chart only supports drag-based range selection.
When users try to click on a bar, they often slightly move the mouse, which results in selecting a very small time range. This makes it look like a bug or an incorrect zoom, even though the behavior is technically working as designed.
In other observability tools (for example, Elasticsearch/Kibana), clicking on a bar performs a clear and predictable action, which sets a different user expectation.
Describe the solution you'd like
Ignore drag selections below a minimal pixel threshold to prevent accidental selection of very small time ranges in the hits chart.
