I'm not expert, & I've not seen anyting ~quite~ like this in
Linux, but I have in Windows. Three things come to mind: 1. The
resolution you're using. Too high a res for the driver in
question can really cause problems. 2. The mouse driver. The
wrong mouse driver will easily do this. 3. The font you're
using. Each or all three are notorious for this kind of thing.
