I can replicate this behaviour
Splat
Nobody has specifically reproduced the issue and no posts for 3 weeks now.
So throwing into Sonar forums to see if anybody else has it.
Note a workaround has been posted by the OP.
I can Replicate the behaviour
I have 4 Mice, 2 wired 2 wireless. I have no batteries form my Wireless, and is on my to do list today.
On the 2 wired mice, right click can sometime be controlled in upward motions, but still tricky, but down causes a jump from max to zero, on both mice. Holding left click produces smooth predictable results. To use left click I have to select the control first with a right click, so I have to both buttons to use a control.
