If you use a pen tablet and it has even happened to me with the mouse when I was getting used to the sensitivity of the mac... I have a habit of 'shaking' slightly or maybe it was my settings with how the pen responds (hover click or click and tap) and then mac makes a copy of selected files or I've lost things off my dock (until I locked it
).
It might help, but check your settings and there might be a reason that it is making copies other then mouse and pen tablet settings
Hope that helps
Hey buddy, thats an interesting thought.
Although I do not use a pen tablet (although I've been considering getting one of those awesome bamboo multi-touch tablets) I have found the mouse settings to be extremely weird ever since switching to mac a couple of years ago.
But I just got a bluetooth wireless mighty mouse to replace my old wired mighty mouse and I found it even worse.
It seems that the slider in mouse settings for Tracking doesn't have consistent functionality, although I think its slightly less annoying in Snow Leopard than Leopard.
I guess its
possible I might have inadvertently selected the files and option-dragged them, but judging by the selection pattern of the files that got copied, I would think it would be very difficult for this to happen without doing it on purpose.
P.S. I just realized you're a fellow Canadian. Props.
