self-selecting items

[John Francis Lee <jfl robinlea com>]

Hi,

I updated my ubuntu to 11.10, discovered that they'd done away with 
gnome, further discovered gnome shell and installed that.

Now I have problems. Hovering over links now selects them. Is this a 
'feature'? How do I get rid of it?

Worse... my mouse/cursor have begun acting erratically. The insertion 
point leaps around 'at will'. Repositioning it with the mouse is difficult.

What has happened here? I was fine with the old gnmome. Gnome 'classic' 
doesn't get it. A lot of the functionality seems to be missing. And this 
cursor stuff is making day to day life very stressful.

If it ain't broke... don't fix it. But you seem to have gone ahead and 
done just that, haven't you?
