ah - i should have suspected as much. i'm using a Microsoft mouse where
the scroll button is meant to work as the third or middle button.
apparently it's somehow only "part way" working. your solution,
pressing right and left simultaneously, solves this problem. thanks!
look forward to seeing your new developments.
