These experiences are brought to you by a Sun4/OS(4.0|3.2),
X11.R3 patchlevel 3, and my mouse.

Has anyone else seen cases where motion events go on "too long" after a button
is released?  For example: Drag a window with uwm; release the button
and continue to drag the mouse.  Sometimes I have the window keep moving
with the mouse *after* I've released the button.

I'm also able to recreate this occasionally using Lisp and CLX.
The pointer is grabbed with :button-motion and :pointer-motion-hint on,
but after the button is released (no others are down) the client receives some
more motion events.

This only seems to happen when the X11 server is loaded, and didn't seem to
happen with X.V11R2.  Has anyone seen this?
