Chris, |
| 44 |
Please bottom post. |

This never happened on my previous mouse which I used for a couple |
| 47 |
of years so I suspect it's specific to the mouse type - exact model, |
| 48 |
interface, etc. If the problem is bothering you the first thing I'd |
| 49 |
try is a mouse from another machine. For me it's frustrating but not |
| 50 |
causing problems. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Note that my machine is dual boot and the mouse doesn't jump in |
| 53 |
Windows so this seens to be a Linux problem and not hardware. |
