That's the craziest nonsense I've ever heard out of a mouse. Is that
mouse programmable or something? Can I safely assume an ordinary 3
button mouse does the expected, not the craziness of your mouse?
If the 3 button mouse does something crazy, is there a .conf file for
your mouse? The behavior you report is el-nutzo, meshugana, loco, and
out of the ordinary.
