I just saw a system exhibit almost identical symptoms a few days ago.
(Actually it was losing mouse control in the horizontal direction.) Does
it look like the mouse is not responding very quick? If so you probably
have a bad mouse. I would guess that either the photo-receptor is dirty
or the optics tracking vertical motion are out of alignment. Try moving
the mouse slowly up and down at a constent speed. If the cursor starts
and stops and moves up and down in jerks try swapping mice with another
sun and see if the problem goes away. It did at our site.
