Although it's hard to tell, but if there is an xserver running on the
vmware host then it might be an app which does too much data transfer
(like pixmaps), which fine locally, but not over a network

When running the IDE, if I right click in an editor window to access a right-click menu option, the expected menu pops up but, after I select a menu item, the editor enters 'text select' mode and highlights a block of text, which is only terminated if I right-click again.  I think this simply means that the IDE is getting confused about right clicks. Any ideas how to fix this please?
