SHIFT + hover selection

[s]

In Windows 2000, Office XP, OL 2002 & Word 2002 & in THIS
text field:

If I hold down SHIFT, an unwanted selection begins at the
blinking insertion point, and ends wherever the pointer "I-
beam" happens to be at the moment. It stops exactly at
the I-beam, and then includes the entire word (I have Word
set to select full words, so maybe this does follow some
rules).

It is as if I were selecting by the "click (at the
beginning) - shift - click (at the end)" method. BUT I
did NOT click at either end!

How do I deactivate this?

As all the most likely causes were covered with your previous thread, have
you checked for accessibility settings through control panel?

Yep. Did you have one in mind that would generate this
effect?
