I'll get this kind of sticking with my netbook. Trackpad and mouse together seem to conflict. But usually unplugging the mouse and plugging it in a different port will clear the problem. (I suppose I should see if there is a bug on this.) Have you tried a different mouse, or the same mouse in a different machine? If you can, it would at least help to eliminate the possible hardware issues. -- Joel Rees Be careful where you see conspiracy.
