Yes.. This has something to do with using ProTerm 3.0 and then returning to
GS/OS. Jay Krell (I think) wrote an INIT that fixes this.. plus if you have
GSBug and Niftylist you can do the following -
 
Apple-Option-Control-Escape into GSBug
   (Or Apple-Reset if you use Quick Debug.. <Shameless Plug>)
 
Enter Niftylist via the "n" command.
 
NL> _SetMouse(3)
 
Then quit and resume execution of the program.. This is just a temporary fix
for the problem, it happens again.. but it is better than re-booting.
 
I figure that the program "Rom03MouseFixer" is around on one of the Apple
II archive sights... Hope this helps
