I think I've found what's causing this. While trying to doubleclick mouse
button two, I (slightly) move the mouse. Dragging button two and three
seems to start marking mode. But my (standard) mouse settings do not
suggest any of this:
Mouse settings:
Active: on
Button 1 Ctrl-Click = Kverb: \Kmouseurl
Button 1 Double-Click = Kverb: \Kmousecurpos
Button 1 Drag = Kverb: \Kmarkcopyclip
Button 1 Ctrl-Drag = Kverb: \Kmarkcopyhost
Button 1 Ctrl-Shift-Drag = Kverb: \Kdump
Button 2 Double-Click = Kverb: \Kpaste
I have a Logitech three-button PS/2 mouse, if it matters.
