Thats sounds really really really unusual, does it happen with any other applications, e.g. gedit. Are you using KDE or GNOME ? It almost sounds like spurious mouse events being generated from somewhere to me, maybe even a broken mouse.
sorry, you already said it happened with thunderbird/firefox
Not OOo specific. Spurious mouse clicks I suspect.
I am using gnome. I do not been able to reproduce this problem with the gedit. It seems to only effect OpenOffice, Thunderbird, FireFox, and I also had a problem with ymessanger. Since it was associated with the first three apps, I always thought it had something to do with Java, but never determined the actual problem.
Unable to reproduce locally.
