I have noticed similar odd behavior on occassion from my Turbo Mouse
(Kensington) running under System 6.0.7 on a IIfx. At first I thought it
was because I had forgotten to remove the 6.0.5 'fix' INIT from
Kensington, but pulling that didn't help either.
  At this point, the occurence is intermittent, and I cannot _make_ the
problem happen (or go away) at will.  I talked to Kensington, and they
suggested cleaning (mine is clean too), or possibly a hardware problem.
They had heard of no problems on the IIfx w/6.0.7.
