This is actually what the FAQ [1] suggests, too but AFAIK that was fixed a long time ago.

If you want to see what mouse up and down do you can see only the relevant parts of the file with:
$ awk '/.*mousebind button="Up".*|.*mousebind button="Down".*/,/.*\/mousebind.*/' ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml

You can check out my output if it's helpful. Actually, I'll give you my whole native 12.10 lubuntu-rc.xml [2]. Feel free to rename yours and put this in its place and see what happens.
