Hi Leon13DM,
I'd love to find out the solution to this. I had some of the developers looking
at this before but nothing ever came of it. A different mouse seemed to fix it
for one user, but that didn't work for me. Ofnuts over on gimp-forum.net wrote a
plugin specifically to deal with this issue.

I hope you can figure out how you fixed it.
