I shall take a look at turning that feature off.
Anyway, just a thought on a possible cause of the problem... let me know if it turns out that is what is causing it.
I was not aware of this mouse pasting feature, which supposedly can be traced back to UNIX. On the face of it, it seems to be a rather insane feature. But, what do I know?
You cannot turn the feature off, but Moi came across a terminal script that apparently turned this feature off, more or less. From my testing of this mouse pasting feature, the terminal script appears to have worked.
In addition, I turned the sensitivity of my mouse way down.
Moi' world's view has been shaken to the core by Snit. Thanks for the tip, Bud. ONLY time will tell if this solves my Bracket problem.
