Here's a weird one that just started last night.  When I double click a
certain folder on my hard disk the system forgets to update the cursor
with the mouse position and i have to reboot the Mac. It still responds
to the mouse button, as clicking causes the finder to do its normal
highlighting.  It just won't move. The problem is not due to a dirty
mouse or the broken rollers inside, because everything is fine as long
as I don't double click that one folder, and the mouse works normally
in all other situations.

So that's weird.  What's even weirder is that if I "Open" or command-O
the folder then everything is fine.

I can't see any reason for double clicking a folder causing the system
to stop updating the cursor. Can anyone else?
