    Firstly try rebooting and go to same page to see if error repeats.
    Is the mouse an old ball mouse or laser? (Dirt, etc in an old mouse around the two inner rollers inside and on the ball?)
    Is the fault on others sites?
    Run a virus/spyware scan as well if you have the time.

    Have you tried doing the same process thru an alternative web viewer tool?
    Just as a process of elimination, it will narrow down the scope of where the problem might lie.

    1.,Have you checked batteries?
    2.,Can anybody else reach this computer, and running any Win version? I think about here, somebody simple just changed your mouse setting as swapped left-right buttons. In this case your right mouse button working as left :)

    Good to hear. It seems the re-boot did the job then.
