Thanks for taking time to test and report the details.

Ditto to all of the above, except `emacsspeak', including copying from
genuine xterm of Thomas Dickie fame, not one of the pretenders to the
throne and using an actual 3 button mouse.
Oddly, I am not always able to reproduce the problem either. Which
probably means there is something else involved the times I see the
problem. Something I haven't really noticed yet so did not include
in my complaint.
Possibly some shortcoming due to wear on the mouse itself? Its a
razor prosolutions pro V 1.6 ( I got it for exacting work in Photoshop
but it kind of took over all mouse duties)
But for that matter... it if never occurs again from here on I'll be a
happy camper. But I think not... since it has recurred enough to
prompt me to complain here about it.
Being more conscious of the problem and looking for it to recur... I
haven't got lucky (unlucky) yet... That is, I haven't been able to
reproduce it in several tries now.
