Comment 156 for bug 187313

I understand what you are saying, but all of these machines were on Ubuntu 8.04 previously (and FF3.x to the best of my knowledge,) and now, on 8.10, the problem materializes. This finding goes against what you have seen.

Also, on another note, I have installed the gestures plug-in (http://www.xuldev.org/firegestures/) and it does seem to fix the problem without forcing me to use gestures. Just thinking out of the box, it seems to me that there is a common unit in all of these... how the mouse is handled.

In justification of this thought I want to add that I have seen some strangeness in mouse left and right clicking in Nautilus too. I have not reported it yet, though.

Thanx!
