I seem to have "fixed" the problem by changing the mouse from PS2 to 
USB.  The mouse has a USB to PS2 adapter and in the past it used to 
work fine in PS2 mode but not in USB.  With MDK 10 the roles seemed to 
have reversed themselves: in PS2 mode I have a problem but it works 
fine as a USB mouse.  Go figure....  At least it works fine now :-)
