No - just normal activity for me - I find that I have to slow down for
whatever it is to "catch up", or so it seems.
I used to get that all the time with a PS/2 mouse, across several
releases of Red Hat Linux and Fedora, and on several computers, and with
various different mice (both cheap and expensive). Along with various
keyboard errors (e.g. suddenly finding that I cannot type anything,
unless it's with the shift key held down, and it takes several logouts
and logins, or a reboot, before it works again). I've come to the
conclusion, that PS/2 motherboard hardware is either crap (though the
same hardware works fine with Windows), or Linux support for them is.
These days I use USB peripherals, and don't have that problem any more.
What type are yours?
Mine is Microsoft InteliMouse PS/2 Compatable.
I did not have this problem with older releases of Fedora. It started
behaving
badly with F8 and F9. Something is different - probably more "sensitive" or
something....
