I've re-installed evo twice, once with > add/remove software and once with yum. Makes no difference. > This concept of re-installing software to make it work again is a total Windows anomaly - it only works in Windows because of the ability to over-write system DLLs (i.e. some other software package installed a "better" version of a DLL that the failing package can't cope with - re-installing just re-instates that original DLL, so the whole thing starts working again - until you notice the other package now doesn't work and you re-install that ....). It rarely does any good in a Linux/Unix environment - and certainly won't in a properly maintained environment like Fedora. If you want to see if the installed version of a package has changed since it was installed, use 'rpm --verify'.
As for your original problem - it sounds like you have turned on some accessibility "feature", it's certainly not a problem with Evo itself. You also don't say if other programs are behaving properly. As Patrick says, try creating a new user and see if Evo behaves properly there, You don't say what whether you are using Gnome3, Gnome2 or KDE (or something else), I will assume Gnome3 since that is the default. In that case try looking in "System Settings" and under "Universal Access" there's a bit about "Point and Clicking" - make sure everything in there is sensible.
