Hi Simon, thanks for responding. We are seeing the issue in our virtual
machine 2 instances:

  - Ubuntu Eoan (18?)running Mate desktop.
  - Virtual Box 6.1.x (varies). Client Additions are installed.
  - One Kubuntu Host, 2 Windows 10 Hosts
  - Hardware varies

The problem only happens in KDevelop so far; Eclipse, Pluma (Puma?), Geany
and Firefox all work fine. I suspect all the mouse settings are default.

I thought it was happening on Windows, but I tested on a laptop today and
found no issue with the trackpad or a wireless mouse. I will check a
Windows VM asap.

Let me know what other details I can provide.

Thanks!
Russ
