This is quite a severe bug. If you have a touchscreen connected, and you have touched it at some point:

1) start gitk or tkinfo or a recent Qt Creator (or probably many other Qt 5 programs)
2) scroll some long text with the mouse wheel
3) move the mouse

It selects text as if the left mouse button was being pressed. So in other words if you have a touchscreen your mouse wheel isn't very useful anymore in certain applications.

I think it should be fixed in 12.04 too, not just in newer releases.
