As the topic states, I randomly have the mouse go crazy in 0.72 in Windows XP, both 32bit and 64bit. I have been experiencing it for ages, but after seeing it happen on multiple systems with various hardware, I thought it was time to report it. What happens is that on occasion, the mouse will make your character (in a 3D game) look straight down or up and spin around at mach ten for a few moments. It's like the mouse suddenly got scrolled to the right or left for several miles, and the character begins rotating that way until it matches up. In fact the character will spin so fast that the world is a flickering blur, which is kind of amusing if you survive.
None of the systems have dual monitors. Four systems use a plain old IntelliMouse Explorer, one uses a Razer Diamondback, one uses a Razer Diamondback 3G (infrared, not optical), and one uses a Logitech MX1000 laser mouse. All systems have either an nVidia or an ATI graphics card, so no cheap built-in stuff. Oh and this happens in older strategy games and such as well, only instead of spinning, the mouse cursor will warp to one side or corner of the screen and seem stuck there for a moment or two.
I do not know how to reproduce this issue other than to play a game and experience it if it decides to happen. It happens in Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, Shadow Warrior, Rise of The Triad, Doom series, Heretic, Hexen, Strife, Wolfenstein 3D, Railroad Tycoon, and just about everything else as well. The IntelliMouse systems are set at 400 sensitivity and the Razer and Logitech mice are at 100, due to having much higher DPIs.
