Mouse issues

Hi all. I have a problem where intermittently, and randomly, my mouse pointer 'grabs' items on screen. I am onto my third wireless mouse, I have also tried a wired mouse, and different mouse pads, and still the same. I have checked some mouse settings as advised on other information I have found on the web. Still the same. I don't have my finger anywhere near the buttons when it happens, so am at a loss. Any suggestions?

    Hi Botty1963​

     

    This sounds like "phantom grabbing." Try to see if ClickLock is enabled.. if it is, uncheck the setting as see if it helps :-) 

     

    Go to Settings -> Bluetooth & devices -> Mouse.

    Click Additional mouse settings.

    Under the Buttons tab, look for ClickLock.

    Ensure Turn on ClickLock is unchecked.

     

     

     

    That would be my first guess
