While under a heavy load under X, with the machine paging to disk etc,
If I grab the mouse and move the pointer quickly, a menu might pop up, or
the text in an XTerm may get highlighted, then suddenly pasted back to the
xterm.

These phantom clicks  can be annoying. Has anyone else found  this?

If so, what have you done about it.

If not, what is your configuration?
Are you using the 30 or 60 interrupt setting?
