Description Jesse Keating 2008-03-05 16:35:58 UTC 
This one is rather difficult to describe.  When I attempt to select a section of
text, the selection goes all crazy and winds up selecting the wrong thing.  I
made a video of it to explain what I was seeing.

I see it happen in gnome-terminal, xterm, firefox, gedit, etc.. but oddly enough
I don't see it in Evolution.

Anything interesting in /var/log/Xorg.0.log?

Xorg log file, as requested.

I don't think so, but I'll attach it anyway.

Interestingly enough I don't seem to have a problem when I'm using the touch
pad.  I will double verify at work once I'm using the USB mouse again.
Comment 5 Jesse Keating 2008-03-06 14:49:20 UTC 
Confirmed.  When I'm using the touch pad I can select just fine, but if I'm
using a USB mouse I cannot.

This bug seems specific to the Apple Mighty Mouse.  The only other person who
has seen this has the same mouse.  http://www.apple.com/mightymouse/  Using a
different mouse things work fine.
