the bug _still_ persists =|. i'm wondering why more people don't complain about 
this bug. perhaps click-to-raise isn't a popular option? or, more likely, there 
is something more peculiar about my setup.

in any case, are there any new insights as to why this might be occurring .. in 
particular, why is it that mixing in a few keystrokes amid the button presses 
(mouse scrolling) fixes the problem?

also, it seems that it is the scrolling caused by my mouse that is the source 
of the problem .. and not the scrolling caused by the scroll wheel on my 
keyboard, even though they produce the same button-press events. i have a usb 
logitech internet navigator keyboard (which is actually a usb hub with a 
keyboard and 'mouse' (scroll wheel)), and a usb logitech optical wheel mouse.

how is it that the same event can cause a delay if it comes from the mouse, and 
no problem if it comes from the keyboard(hub)?
