Default mouse locked in "drag mode"

Here's an odd situation that I've run into in my excel '03...sometimes, not
all the time, the mouse will lock itself almost as if I'm holding down the
left button and dragging it around. I can't get it to let go of the origin
cell and wherever I move the mouse from the origin cell it "paints" the drag
pattern. Anyone ever run into this one before?

Tap not too gently on the wheel of your wheelie mouse.
