What you describe sounds kinda like that, to me. Do you have another mouse to try it with? Looks like it was hardware related, and yes it was a Logitech mouse that has been in use for a while. Replaced it with one of the same model (plain Logitech 3-button optical w/ wheel) and it seems to be back to normal.

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 7 MATE flakey mouse
I just realized that more than MATE Terminal is affected. For example, if I'm using firefox on a long web page, click the scrollbar and quickly scroll through the page, then sometimes it behaves like after a bit I've released the mouse button: Instead of scrolling, the mouse (which is now outside of the scroll bar area) starts highlighting text instead. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] CentOS 7 MATE flakey mouse
I'm using the MATE desktop (via 'yum groupinstall "MATE Desktop"') on CentOS 7. I'm finding the mouse to be rather flakey in the sense that: - in MATE Terminal, clicking on text and dragging the mouse (in order to highlight the text and copy it to the X cut & paste buffer) will sometimes drop the highlight (thus not copying anything), or stop and restart the highlight (thus copying the wrong text). - double clicking in MATE terminal to do highlight and copy in by-words mode often grabs the wrong text In all other versions of xterm-like terminals since the dawn of time, these kinds of operations have been rock-solid. Now they're unpredictable. Is anyone else seeing this kind of behavior? Devin ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
