The M325 logitek has been the only mouse that I can put enough springs in 
to keep it from clicking from nearby breathing, and it really fits my 
hand. And I've worn out 5 or 6 of them in the last decade and they all 
did it. I don't think its the mouse at all, but the composer is ignoring 
that the sticky bits are set, supposedly making those settings 
immutable, but the sticky bits don't mean squat, are being ignored. But 
just for grins I'll plug in a wired mouse and test it right now. Another 
two button and wheel logitek, so old it actually has a clicker on the 
wheel that works lots better than the current crop of clickerless wheel 
mice. does it perfectly changing the sticky checked sent-mail selection 
to any mailbox kmail knows about one selection per click of the wheels 
rotation. So lets forget the mouse and go look at the code that selects 
that stuff, its ignoring the sticky bit.

In fact, as I was preparing to print an unrelated web page FFR, I tried 
it on some of the printer selections like portrait/landscape, works the 
same there so I don't have to pull down a multiselector submenu there 
either. Just hover and roll the wheel.
