I might be wrong, but I think that's due to crappy mouse sensors/firmware.

With teams/idle checking, these days, I almost wish everyone had one of those to keep PCs active all the time.

I think this is probably the case. The old roller ball mice did not seem to have this problem, but early optical mice did.

Yeah, the only mouse I have that does this I'd my Logitech T-BB-18 when I take the ball out.
