Cursor automatically selects things without clicking or pressing any buttons

[Devvrath]

The cursor automatically selects things if I hover it over menus, icons in the Dock and similar options like that. It is automatically happening without I pressing any mouse keys and it started suddenly. I can't even switch browser tabs properly. If I click on one tab it suddenly switches to the next simply! This happens when I try to switch between tabs in any application also.It is very annoying and I cannot find any settings or anything to fix this. Please help. I'm using Ubuntu 17.10 32bit wih budgie-desktop version 10.4. My system was all perfectly normal until this happened. Thanks in advance.

Have you rebooted?

Have you tried a different mouse?

Yes, I have tried a different mouse. My wireless mouse driver is very
unpredictable with Ubuntu Budgie. It works properly sometimes but then
suddenly becomes unstable. Thank you for responding so quickly and now the
mouse works properly and I don't know when it will go "berserk". I think I
will have to stick to my touchpad for now.
