[Fluxbox-users] errant mouse-over behaviour.

[Sharon Kimble]

I've got this rather weird problem atm, in that if I mouse-over
something it is picked up by the mouse! I can mouse-over text and it is
immediately highlighted! How can I [a] stop this, and/or
[b]re-calibrate the mouse to get rid of this behaviour. Its developed
overnight for some reason, and has even survived rebooting. I'm not
aware of doing anything to provoke/create this weird behaviour, but its
really winding me up! Can anyone suggest some solutions please?

Thanks
Sharon.

Sound like a mechanical problem to me. Try a new mouse ?

You were right, it was a dodgy mouse, so a new usb-mouse has sorted it
out, plus I also bought a spare one, just in case! :)
