I have the same problems may times but it happen most when I was scrolling thru up and down where you have to use the 2 button. Sometimes this is very usefull since to scroll I have to press the second button and if it stuck, i just have to move the mouse and dont have to press any keys. I dont know why but it is definitely a bug. I really wonder why Apple put these buttons in the place of arrows. Apple are listening ??? I wish it could be made user definable or at least make it to option-click or command-click... I got to very weird situation sometimes with this buttons....sigh...!!
