Where are your scripts located BTW?
a card or stack with a mouseenter handler will trigger anytime you enter 
a control... Im thinking this is possible cause...

    -- always check!!!
    if there is an image f then...

Does this happen when not in debug mode?

yes... But not with mousemove... With mousedown

on mousedown
repeat while the mouse is down
  set the loc of my window to the mouseloc
  -- "see also" the mouseh, mousev, etc...
  -- this code is the base and not exactly smooth...
end repeat

you can make it a lot nicer like

or

The last one is described on the front page of monsieurx.com.

hope that helps
