Just noticed some weird behavior on my MP '09 5,1 flashed, running 10.6.5. With an optical mouse that had always worked perfectly the cursor intermittently jumps across the screen away form the item it is bringing into focus. Am bringing a new mouse home this evening and I hope the mouse is the problem. Any ideas on what else it could be or whether something is likely wrong with the MP?
 
When that has happened to me its always traced to a bad mouse/trackpad or low battery.
