I've seen this happen with cheap mice exposed to bright light. Seems the plastic shell is so thin that they let enough light in to trigger the protoreceptors. The next time it happens, try just shading the mouse with your hand. If that stop it, then you can disassemble the mouse and spray the inside with some paint. Or just work in the dark ;)...

I have seen something like that with an old mouse of mine... > Maybe this "when pressing a button" is pure coincidence? I get this with a MS serial mouse sometimes. I'm not even touching the mouse and the cursor starts to "fall" slowly and jerkily down the screen. I guess even mice get fleas ;-) Cheers, -- Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +44 1908 653 739 Fax: +44 1908 655 151 Snail: David Wright, Earth Science Dept., Milton Keynes, England, MK7 6AA Disclaimer: These addresses are only for reaching me, and do not signify official stationery.
