Selection using mouse aborts unexpectedly

[Jos Backus]

    Hi,

For a few weeks now, when I drag my mouse over some text with the left button
pressed down, the selection will reproducibly abort after a second or so and
start re-selecting even though I never let go of the mouse button.  This used
to work fine and is very annoying, to say the least.

Is anybody else seeing this? It happens both on the console and in X. I'm
running moused like this:

    /usr/sbin/moused -p /dev/ums0 -t auto -I /var/run/moused.ums0.pid

dmesg output:

ums0: <vendor 0x045e product 0x008c, class 0/0, rev 2.00/0.57, addr 2> on usbus6
ums0: 5 buttons and [XYZ] coordinates ID=1
ums0: <vendor 0x045e product 0x008c, class 0/0, rev 2.00/0.57, addr 2> on usbus6
ums0: 5 buttons and [XYZ] coordinates ID=1
