    Davin:

    Yes, after reading your email, I'd have to concur. Now that I think about
    it, I did try using Gnome as well some time ago and had the same problem.
    Also, unlike Don, I _did_ see the same weirdness under v7.1....

    I should also mention that I've swapped out the mouse, at one point guessing
    it might be the culprit; it was not. Same behavior on either my optical or
    mechanical mouse!

    I can't believe no one else has seen this; maybe folks are giving up (sadly)
    on SuSE after being discouraged by this!
