I eventually got round to having a look...

I couldn't reproduce the problem with my simple ed.py script.

I could repeat the problem with the current eric snapshot. At the same
time, I could also see the problem with konsole.

I looked at the eric source - particularly at the reimplementation of
mousePressEvent() in Editor.py which calls the parent before the default
implementation for all buttons. In case this was doing something odd I
commented it out. The problem went away.

I restored what I'd commented out in order to prove this was really the
cause - but the problem didn't come back. konsole also seemed to be Ok.

I reset my X server - still no problem.

I can only conclude that this is a intermittant Qt problem.
