This is something weird that I've noticed (has anyone else? know why?).


After using the mouse a lot,
say clicking a few hundred times in emacs (after a few hours of use),
it gets behind in the events;
that is, 

 I click at point p1 to set point there:
    no response.
 I click at point p2 to set point there:
    point goes to p1.
 .. click p_n has the effect of p_(n-1).
(or p_(n-k), where k may be 2, 3, or sometimes even 4
 (always monotonically increasing)).


This is very annoying, and I generally get tired of it and re-incarnate.

I haven't seen it in 18.54 (on an RT), nor 18.55/epoch, which I've been using
lately.  Maybe it's been fixed and I needn't worry anymore.
