When mine does that, it's always a cat hair across the laser hole. Quick blow
sorts that out.

Weird hill to die on, but you're factually right.

BetterTouchTool might be able to reallocate that middlebutton. 

Is the mouse pressing F12? You may be able to see it doing that on the
Keyboard Viewer, which is on the Input Menu icon (enable that icon in Sys
prefs/Input Sources). If it is you can use Keyboard/Shortcuts to change what
F12 does.

I'm using a Logitech MX Master as my other mouse (for games that need
independent left and right click, as well as more buttons), but they're £60
when they're on sale...
