I've been bitten by bad mouse problems enough times that when I see 
symptoms like yours, it's pretty much my go-to.  I had someone in 
England call me some time back, and could *NOT* figure out her problem.  
Finally had her wipe her machine and start over... and it was still 
there.  Which is when I realized she was using an external, wireless 
mouse, and had her replace her batteries.

D'oh.

I had originally considered and rejected that the problem was
hardware, and I think with good reason.

...the problem was hardware.  I have replaced the track ball and the
problem is gone.

Thanks!
