I know that I'm a month late in answering this, but I've been away
from my email and I'm just now cathcing up on the threads that
interest me.

I have the same problem with my A4 wireless mouse. The buttons
sometimes stick, and I must (lightly) bang the mouse against the table
to free them. What brand of mouse have you? Try giving it a light tap,
see if that frees a stuck key.
