Bug Description
Binary package hint: evolution
While typing text in an email reply or create new email text area, the screen changes to a select text mechanism and as I move the mouse up and down so is the selected text moving. At this point I am unable to come out of the select text mode , using ESCkey , Right Side mouse button or anything other means. The effect is Ubuntu apps wide and so the ONLY way out is the power button, which I never like to do, but needs must. I have seen that my version of Evolution is quite old (got it via Ubuntu Software Centre after installing 10.10 32 bit, even though I am on a 64bit architecture - recommendation from Ubuntu support). So will now download version 2.32.1 in an effort to come over the problem.

Chris Pearce
