Problems with clicking in Sigil?

I'm not sure if this is a problem with my computer or mouse--my mouse is relatively new (just a year or two old and it's never had issues) and I've restarted my computer a few times since installing Sigil and having the problem occur each time... anyways, the problem is that occasionally when I have Sigil open and I try to click on the toolbar, or anything for that matter, the cursor seems "stuck" in the text box editor. As in, when I click to the right of the little blinking line it skips a space over to the right, and vice versa when I click to the left of it. When I right click anywhere it shows up with "cut/copy/paste/etc", even when I'm clicking outside of the text box. When I move my mouse over the toolbars themselves they highlight, but I get no reaction when I click on a button.

Occasionally it'll work for a while and I can import a file, but after a while it'll get stuck again. It happens with varying frequency too; sometimes I can get through a few edits and other times I have to restart Sigil without having done anything since it won't respond. I resorted to using keyboard shortcuts but you can only get so far with them

Any help would be appreciated... this also happens in Calibre (part of the reason why I tried Sigil) but not in other programs, like MS Word. Thanks!
