Been having a weird problem recently. Only seems to happen when the computer has been unattended for some time.
When I go into any application where you (use the mouse) to select one item, several random items are selected all at the same time. In Thunderbird, for example, selecting one folder, selects 2 or 3. In explorer, selecting one item highlights many more; and when I click on Firefox (to re-open the window) it kicks off another instance of the program; clicking on a pinned tab (in Firefox), doesn't open it but protects/locks it instead.
Closing & restarting the progs fix it, but it affects every running program, so I usually end up rebooting the system.
Swapped the mouse & tried a different USB port. Doesn't happen very often but it still keeps happening.
Any ideas as to what's causing this ??
