Bug description:
  I've experienced this bug on every computer that I've installed ubuntu
  on, I don't know whether it is specific to trackpads or not.
  Basically, when I read webpages, I will often highlight my way down
  the page.  And I will frequently discover that this highlighting and
  clicking will copy text which is then pasted when I click on an input
  box--such as the google toolbar or an open office document.  I
  recognize that this is probably a feature, but it should be disabled
  by default.  It was the only complaint I've received about usability
  from the average computer users I've introduced to ubuntu
