Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox
I have been enjoying the use of FireFox for quite some time now. This is
the first time I have experienced this problem. As I move the mouse
pointer around the window of FireFox a "Dot" appears with a line
(vector) extending from the point to where ever the mouse happens to be.
Sometimes the "vector" angles at some place and continues at a new
angle. Occasionally it will also "randomly" open a menu box as well.
While typing in this information box my mouse "I" bar would change from
a white "I" to an animated "I" changing from a black outline to a
pinkish outline and then becoming a white outlined "Cross" with a black
"Dot" behind it. If I move the cross a "vector line" extends from it
and a menu box opens. It seems to open the "Ubuntu-it" menu from the
top of my browser. Except that the menu appears at the location of
where ever my mouse happens to stop moving. It also seems to
occasionally interfere with my typing. Sometimes, if I move the mouse,
this text box will become highlighted as if I were holding down the
<left> mouse button. I have also tried a different mouse. I looked
for a "reload" or "update" option for FireFox but did not find one. I
am running Ubuntu 10.10 with Mozilla Firefox version 3.6.13. I hope
this can be easily fixed as I have been delighted with this software.
Thank you
