Hello,
This is kind of a weird weird problem/annoyance. I'm almost positive this is just a setting that I enabled by accident. So basically, whenever I click on a scrollbar, click on a window title bar to move it, or do things like such, and do it for like a set number of seconds, it keeps on doing it whether or not my mouse is still down. What a long sentence.

e.x. 1
I click on a scrollbar to scroll down an internet page. I scroll down for like 3 seconds. I get to the spot where I want to read, so I let go. Well it still scrolls down to where my mouse goes.

e.x. 2
I have notepad open. I click on the title bar to move it a little to the right. Well it took a few seconds to move it (just go with it... lol) and then when I "unclick" my mouse, it keeps on moving notepad to where my mouse goes.

Oh, and, when it is happening, all I do is click and it doesn't scroll/move anymore. It also happens pretty much anything that I can move. It does it for moving files around the desktop.

Has anyone had this problem and know what setting you changed?

Lol. It is actually really annoying, though.

I think that I've seen some settings in the MOUSE settings. I have the same thing with my touchpad. Mildly annoying, but also helpful, some of the time.

Exactly. I forgot to mention that SOMETIMES it is helpful. But I do alot of clicking or whatever that trigger the annoyance, so it can get really annoying.

I'll look into the mouse settings. I've also been going into deep settings, like X-Setup (I might have been browsing that to see it's features and accidently clicked something).

It's called ClickLock. And yes, it's in the mouse settings. Thanks for the lead.
