Word 97 - whacky right click behaviour

[Peter1968]

I use Word 97 with the spell checker as you type option on. For some
ungodly reason, when I right click a misspelled word, the cursor jumps
to the scroll bar and changes to an up or down arrow. I normally have
to right click a whole bunch of times to get it to bring the spell
check context menu up.

Why is it jumping to the scroll bar? I have no idea how I would've
enabled such a "feature" and for the life of me I can't see how to
turn this "feature" off.

Googling hasn't given me any answers yet.

Love some help with this.

It might be worth checking the configuration of your mouse driver software.

It might be worth checking the configuration of your mouse driver software.

I suppose it's my own fault for not mentioning that I haven't touched
the mouse driver or the button config (it's a vanilla wheelmouse with
vanilla winxp drivers).

So, with that out of the way, what else do you think it may be?
