Recently someone posted a complaint about the new mouse that comes with
the SE and the II; it seems that occasionally the Mac acts as though the
mouse button is being held down, when in fact it isn't.  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.
