mouse problem on shell ambient

Hello!
I'm using a Slackware 10.2 distribution and I have a problem.
When I close X server and I go to shell ambient, mouse works in a bad way.
In fact, if I move it in shell, it works like new-line botton! But why? It's impossible move mouse and don't have "new command". Could you help me? Thanks to all! lucs

Do you have a process named gpm running ?
GPM adds mouse support to text-based Linux applications such the Midnight Commander. Is also allows mouse-based console cut-and-paste perations, and includes support for pop-up menus on the console.

regards,

Hello marozsas!
thank you very much for your answer! But if I would like not to kill gpm process? In particular I would like to add this thing: the problem i "bigger" if I use an optical mouse...kernel configuration problem? "mouse mapping event" problem? Thank you very much! lucs

Try to stop GPM and start it again. I never had such problem, so I am short of ideas what is going on.
