Mouse problem in Thunderbird/Firefox

[gogalthorp]

I recently installed 10.2 keeping the home from 10.1

Now I'm having odd mouse problems in Thunderbird and Firefox

symptom: scrolling with the mouse wheel- when I scroll up then move the mouse all the text from the start position to current position is marked and copied to the clipboard.....Also if the scroll is done on the slider it will return to the origin position after a up scroll and then a mouse move

I suspect there is a gesture setting or some other setting in about:config I have forgotten about. It seems to be only in these two programs. Everywhere else the mouse seems well behaved. Just checked in Konqueror it works fine.

It is not a show stopper but boy is it irritating

Looks like I fixed the problem it was a button mapping problem in xorg.conf

I suggest this page for those that may be having mouse problems.
