This has been happening for as long as I can recall - even with new v4.30
When moving selection boxes the mouse "slips" off the selection and drops it. The faster the mouse motion the quicker the "drop".
Very frustrating when trying to move a small selection cut from top of a tall document to the bottom. (yeah, I could just recreate the selection at the bottom, but it is a pain in the ** to have to note selection sizes and then recreate them)
1. Make a selection with left mouse button - say 300px wide x 300px high
2. Move mouse cursor over selection - cursor changes to zoom mag glass
3. Right click on selection box - cursor changes to 4 arrow crosshair
4. Start dragging selection down page - even very slowly. Crosshair starts slipping down inside selection until it reaches selection border, and then "drops" selection box.
If the image is larger than the screen view (scrollbars showing), the image scrolls after the slip.
It behaves just like a real world object being slid across a tabletop with a slippery finger - the friction of the object causes the finger to slip across the top of the object until finger is no longer on the object.

WinXPsp3 / Intel Quadcore 9300, 4gig DDR2, 4.5 Tb HDs, 9800GTX Video, dual monitor - 23.5" flat and 21" crt.
Addendum: This occurs using a corded Logitech MX-518 mouse, but also with my old Logitech MX700 wireless mouse.
Also noted a new twist today while experimenting - zoomed in images behave differently.
If image is zoomed in to say 200%, the mouse sometimes "slips off" the selection in THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION! ie: if dragging a selection down the page, the mouse cursor slips UP in the selection and then falls off the top of the selection (like the selection box is moving faster than the cursor instead of slower like the "friction on a tabletop" analogy above)
Also, unlike my original description where mouse slips down off of selections in 1:1 viewed images, this weird behavior also includes slipping and dragging/scrolling the image at the same time - cursor slips to edge of selection area and then both drags the selection and scrolls the image while the cursor flickers from the crosshair to hand icon. If zoom is higher (say 500%) sometimes there is no selection move at all - immediate scrolling occurs.
Also, at high zoom level, moving the mouse in fast jerks sometimes keeps the cursor in the selection, while carefully moving the mouse slowly causes it to slip off the selection (and usually the opposite side)
Sorry, but I can't nail it down much more - depending on zoom level and mouse movement speed, IV does completely different things - all of which are bad unfortunately. I'm trying to generate some video to illustrate, but issues with capturing the cursor, encoding, and getting the problems to replicate reliably are occuring.
