I just uploaded a fresh build that might fix this. Please try it: http://www.turbovnc.org/DeveloperInfo/PreReleases
The Java viewer had some old crufty code left over from the antiquated TurboVNC 1.x Java viewer, code which that viewer had apparently inherited from either the RealVNC or TightVNC Java viewers. Back in the days when Java VNC viewers had to support Java 1.1, we had to work around a bug in that release of Java whereby it would fail to set the MouseEvent.BUTTON1_MASK bits in the modifier mask whenever the left button was pressed. To work around that issue, we sent a left button press event to the VNC server whenever the modifier mask was 0. Well, flash forward 15 years, and the original bug in Java has long since been fixed (since Java 1.1.1), but now Java generates a button press event with a 0 modifier mask whenever any of the extra buttons (X buttons) are pressed on an advanced-function mouse. With my 7-button Logitech, at least, the effect this had was to cause xterm to begin selecting whenever one of the X buttons was pressed, but it would never end the selection until you pressed and released Button 1. So I could imagine a scenario whereby this bug could cause the issues you were seeing.
