If so, either this mouse is funkity, or whatever, its intermittent as far as the MMB is concerned, and I can either power cycle the mouse, or reboot the machine when it fails. But it is also way too sensitive at times, and that is even more aggravating. I'll dig around a bit whenever I get upset enough, but no patch I've ever suggested has ever passed muster. So I haven't tried in 10 years now. That was to floppy.c at the time and I was told its racy as can be, but nothing was going to be done. That of course is not your fault Alan, It may even predate you.
