I can't reproduce it on my end (ubuntu edgy, my build from source).

However, I do recall seeing that once or twice while testing... but I think
that resizing the window or maybe quitting and restarting the game fixed the
problem.  I don't recall.  In any event, it didn't seem like a serious
problem, so unfortunately, I never looked into it.  Now I wish I had.

Just tried it on another machine here (faster graphics card, Ubuntu Feisty,
fresh build from cultivation v8 source).  Cannot reproduce.

It has something to do with coordinate translation between mouse and world
coords.  Maybe different graphics cards (or different X servers) feed mouse
coords into GLUT windows differenly.  Can you ask the bug reporter (or those
who can reproduce it) to see if resizing or repositioning the window
helps?  Also, is it consistent (always happens on the problem machines)?  Or
is it something that goes away after restarting Cultivation?

Also, the fact that the button clicks still work makes me suspicious that
it's something in my code...  please keep me posted.  I hope we can fix this
soon.

Jason
