- Well last night at home it happened to me (again). This time I took a little
- more notice of what actually happened. I was scrolling in a dialog box in Word
- 4 and the *button* stuck down over the down arrow. When I moved the pointer to
- any other button on screen - nothing happened. But when it was back over the
- scroll down arrow, away it went again.
- As soon as I hit the mouse button again, all was well. For now;-)
- I have a Classic II 4/40 with syst 7.01 tuneup 1.1.1. and the usual small aray
- of boring extensions. This also happens on my LC (7.0, 1.1.1, 6/50 etc.) at
- work and it has a *different* type of mouse!
- I say its software (but then I say all sorts of stupid things!)
