pointer makes selection w/o clicking

[wel]

Pointer will make selection without you clicking, just by
resting at a point. This does not happen everytime which
makes this auto feature even worse. How do you turn this
off.

Buttons tab | ClickLock

[Locks a mouse or trackball button after a single-click, enabling you to
select or drag without continuously holding down the mouse button. Just
press and hold down any mouse or trackball button for a moment, and your
click is locked. With ClickLock you can drag objects, select blocks of text,
and open menus. Click again to release ClickLock. To adjust the amount of
time you need to hold down a mouse or trackball button before it locks,
click Settings.]

If that isn't it, look around for other settings/options.
