Problem with switching between screens

Hello.

My current configuration is quite simple. 2 boxing, 2 monitors, 1 main, 2 secondary. During normal play, things work great, and as expected, however, when I try and switch to firefox or email or anything like that, and then back to the main screen, things go a bit crazy.

It is basiically acting as if the right mouse button is permanently on. So in Everquest, I'm in mouselook mode. If I try and press the right mouse button, I get context windows menu as if I had right clicked on the window title (restore, nove, size, minimize, maximize, close etc).

Any idea's how to stop this?

Cheers

while this posting isn't that new anymore - for a while i am running into right the same problem and it makes me wonder if someone has found a cure for it?

If it happens, try tapping keys like ctrl, shift, alt, or windows and see if that corrects it?

i should check in here more often

Yeah - I tried the usual suspects - but they don't really solve the issue.
Lately I also happen to experience that issue in EQ2 also (not that often - but it happens).

Some weird combination of switching screens with alt+tab, using windows key to move focus to another window (non-game), tabbing out and back in to game windows .... and after a while things are back to normal.

I realise this is a bit of a necro post, but this is happening with me.
I 3 box Everquest, main on one screen, and 2 alts swapping on a second.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Try tapping modifier keys? (Both left and right) One might be "stuck" and causing this behavior.

Heh I get this too from time to time. I assume it is due to switching focus with a key held down. It is almost always while I'm turning, and the char just spins in circles until I hit that key again.

This can happen with mouse clicks as well. I'll return to a window and find that the camera follows the mouse until I click.

It isn't that big of a deal to me, or I would have mentioned it earlier.
