If it were only a problem in the Dock, or if it was a problem in ALL
programs, I would agree.  But it IS a problem inside SeaMonkey, and
it is not a problem in ANY programs for Mac OS/X from Microsoft.

Example, do a slow click on the "Get Messages" button in the mail+news
window.  Now try that in Entourage.

You seem to be ignoring the behavior within programs.

I suspect there is a settable time delay before it decides there is a
"Hold" going on, but I have no idea where it might be set.  It's not in
the system preferences panel for the mouse.

After two months, that's clearly not working, which is why I asked ...

Won't help with the Get Msgs button in the Mail & News window.
