Dear all  
I developed a Processing sketch that handle mouse and its buttons.  
It works but, after a while, the mousePressed attribute becomes always true.  
Did you have any similar problem ?  
How did you fix it ?  
Thank you very much for your help and ooperation  
regards

I have never heard of this problem before. Are you trying to use the boolean value of `mousepressed` inside the mousePressed()` function? Are you assigning a value to mousepressed somewhere? Those are just a couple of thinks that might be the issue. Without seeing some code that demonstrates the problem, we’re at a loss.
