Check the possibility that your mouse is configured 1,3,2 i.e. the
"middle" button is acting as "right," and vice versa.  I vaguely recall
setting mine up that way (assume it was in X configuration or gpm.conf).
The benefit is that I can paste with a right click instead of trying to
hit both.  On the desktop, hold down both buttons to pop-up menus, move
cursor, and select by releasing.
