Mouse doesn't work properly on one computer

I am using MoneyDance on 4 different computers, a Windows 8, Ubuntu12.04, and 2 Linux Mint LDME machines. They all work great except 1 of the Linux Mint LMDE machines.

What happens is, inside the Money Dance window, the mouse does not actually correspond to where the computer seems to think I am pointing.

For instance, in a register, if I open the account dialog for a specific transaction, point to the account I want to use for that transaction and click on it, it will exit that transaction, and select a transaction several transactions "up" -- As if even tho it puts the mouse indicator in the right place, the coordinates inside the computer are pointing to what the engine thinks is another transaction.

Also, I cannot select any menus. The strange thing is, the accounts in the left pane and on my home screen click with no issues.

Is this a Java issue possibly?

I am not near that machine right now, but is there a compatibility issue between Iced-T and Java inside money dance? The Linux Mint LMDE machine it DOES work on has both JRE,JDK and Iced-T installed, where the machine it does not work on only has the "factory installed" Iced-T.

Thanks for the support

   I saw similar problems with early versions of Gnome 3 and Java, where Gnome3 wasn't correctly reporting the mouse coordinates to java spps.

   We don't test Moneydance on the IcedTea implementation of Java. Have you tried installing the OpenJDK on the problem machine instead?

   The problem machine is my home PC and I am at work. I will check what exact versions and try OpenJDK and report back.

   Thanks for the feed back.
