FWIW, I've had similar problems on one Linux machine, but it turned out 
to be the combination of an old serial mouse with a bad contact for the 
mouse button (you have to *really* press), possibly combined with mouse 
driver problems (the OS seems to just not get series of mouse events now 
and then - for example, resizing system window frames would frequently 
lose the grip on the window corner - but this could be a hardware 
failure too, though it wouldn't surprise me if the mouse handling is not 
optimized for serial mice).

I'm not saying that's the problem here, but it could be a hardware issue 
- particularly if the hardware is public and used by a lot of people.
