On facebook writing a message.  I have since worked on other pages
without difficulty so I am thinking it has something to do with fb

I am not highlighting.  It happens without my highlighting

For about an hour yesterday it was happening every time

I think it is just facebook.  After it happened 3 or 4 x in FB I
stayed off that page and gmail was fine.

It has not happened yet in other apps.

I can not do anything else other than shut down and that only by
pushing the computer's off button.  The highlighting follows the
cursor.
