Which games do you have problems with, and does this affect all
keys or only those used for emulating the Atari joystick?

No, you can't disable mouse support completely. But the mouse
handling routine shouldn't be triggered unless the mouse is
actully moved. We didn't change the mouse code in quite a while,
so if there weren't any problems with older versions of z26,
I don't think the mouse is the causing this.
We added support for PC joysticks in version 2.08 though. The
joystick handler simulates keypresses, so this might cause your
problem. Do you have any joysticks connected to your PC? You
should be able to disable PC joystick support with the -j0
command line switch. Maybe this helps. If not, you could check
the archive on John's website and find out which version
intoduced this bug. All older releases should be available
from there. This would make it easier for us to find the
problem.
