Really frustrating stuff. Sometimes it goes away, and I think the problem is solved, but without exception, the problem comes back (within minutes). It could be that both those mice are indeed broken - but to me that seems unlikely (I won't rule it out though). Testing with yet another mouse (non Logitech) the problem is gone. -- Andreas Rönnquist mailingli...@gusnan.se andr...@ronnquist.net
