I can't reproduce it on my end (ubuntu edgy, my build from source).
However, I do recall seeing that once or twice while testing... but I think that resizing the window or maybe quitting and restarting the game fixed the problem. I don't recall. In any event, it didn't seem like a serious problem, so unfortunately, I never looked into it. Now I wish I had.
Just tried it on another machine here (faster graphics card, Ubuntu Feisty, fresh build from cultivation v8 source). Cannot reproduce.
It has something to do with coordinate translation between mouse and world coords. Maybe different graphics cards (or different X servers) feed mouse coords into GLUT windows differenly. Can you ask the bug reporter (or those who can reproduce it) to see if resizing or repositioning the window helps? Also, is it consistent (always happens on the problem machines)? Or is it something that goes away after restarting Cultivation?
Also, the fact that the button clicks still work makes me suspicious that it's something in my code... please keep me posted. I hope we can fix this soon.

I'm using the intel xorg driver with xorg 1.3.0.0. Resizing/moving the
window doesn't help. I always have the problem with cultivation 8 on my
Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop. Restarting cultivation doesn't help. The
version with the patch that deavid wrote works fine though.
PS: thanks for making such awesome games Jason :)
