USB mouse settings

Hm. Lots of mouse questions this morning.

I have a Logitech USB wireless mouse that works great but I've noticed that, with a few windows open, if I slide the mouse quickly across the screen, the text or the windows get selected as if I clicked on the mouse.

I also noticed that, if I spin the mousewheel too fast while in a browser, Chrome for sure, it's as if I clicked on the "back" button of the browser.

I haven't had a chance to play with xset but was wondering if that's where I should start or if this could be something else. I'm using OpenBox with nVidia and two monitors.
 
Greetings @drhowarddrfine,

While I haven't used Openbox in several years. I did notice a really good mouse related "how-to", in these forums. Have a look/search in the: Howtos & FAQs section here. Short side of that, I guess xset(1), and the FreeBSD Handbook in the section regarding X, Xorg, and the likes, are all that immediately come to mind.

Best wishes.
