Have you tried this with another mouse and gotten the same result? I
tend to keep a supply of new mice handy because the model I prefer
tends to misbehave in two different ways when it's no good any more.
It either clicks more than I told it to or refuses to click when I
tell it to. The misbehavior is random and sporadic at first and
becomes more and more frequent as time goes by. It sounds like you
may be seeing some of that kind of misbehavior with your mouse.
