Bizarre mouse behavior with FrameMaker

I'm sounding this out here just in case anyone's ever seen anything similar.

FrameMaker 7, Mac, mouse under control of USB Overdrive.

I have long - years - had FrameMaker set up such that the mouse wheel scrolls forward/back a page at a time, without problems. The control codes for this in FrameMaker 7 for Mac are command-[ and command-]. The benefit of using these control codes rather than 'page up' and 'page down' is that they also work in dialogs, such as the Paragraph Designer.

The problem I'm seeing may be a USB OVerdrive issue and therefore outside the remit of this group, but what's happening is that, only *very* occasionally, for a scroll page down, I get the current contents of the paste buffer followed by the ']' inserted into the text. Which is of course highly undesirable, especially if you don't notice it.

This only happens very occasionally, so I can't pin down the exact circumstances.
