I had a similar situation today. Mine was related to the viewer. No matter what I clicked on, the viewer would jump to the cursor.
These kind of things are not odd to me. Other programs exhibit odd behavior at times. My computer is just barely capable for programs like lwks. I perform maintenance tasks quite frequently to try and forestall these kind of problems. I also run the resource monitor constantly in W7 to view cpu operations.
I'm not saying that's an answer for you, it's what happens on my machine.
