Possibly an X configuration issue?  If you have "Emulate3Buttons" or
"ChordMiddle" enabled, then chording the left and right buttons (like
playing a chord with multiple keys on a piano) will make X respond to a
middle-click (i.e., paste) event.

# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button Microsoft mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)

# ChordMiddle is an option for some 3-button Logitech mice

#    Option "ChordMiddle"
