At last night's BCS MacTechGroup meeting, this happened to our SE in the middle of a presentation being given by the author of SuperMandelZoom. We tried a number of things to fix it, such as clicking the mouse button repeatedly, turning the mouse over and whacking it, and such; we were assuming the button was actually the problem. I've since concluded that the problem was actually with the ADB Manager. Anyway, after these things failed to do anything, I tried activating MouseKeys. This did the trick; when MouseKeys is active, the '5' on the keypad is a mouse click (mouseDown and mouseUp), the '0' is a mouse drag (mouseDown), and the '.' is a mouseUp. Hitting the dot fixed the problem. -- John M.
