It could be the mouse software too. I've got a consistent problem with my mouse. Occasionally, two or three times an hour, I'll click somewhere on my screen and the pointer will jump vertically, and THEN activate the click. Somehow the actual pointer gets disconnected from where the wheel puts it, and the click command resets it. I've had lots of strange things get selected, especially when I'm grabbing books to put on hold from our local library - the pointer jumps up and grabs a different book from the list. Unless I notice it, I end up with a strange book waiting for me.
