It's an optical mouse. Maybe the button just wore out?

I always shut down cleanly, as far as I know.
I really think that if it was shutdown problem, it was that darned adobe. It gave me the reboot now/reboot later screen, and I chose later. And it showed that reboot screen again, during shutdown.
If it does it again, I'll think mouse.
