A while ago I reported:

Pib Burns explained:

Bill Maciejewski <wmm@ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu> suggested, in a note
to me (I think):
>this might be caused by using the graphic cursor on some machines.  I had
>this problem a while ago and when I switched back to block cursor the
>problem went away.  If you're using that, try switching back... if not, I
>have no idea :)

Bill's stratagem seems to have done the trick -- the mouse stays
obedient.  Maybe someday I'll find time to study the
"troubleshooting" section and figure out what is really wrong.
