Problem with right-clicking

Hello there,

I have a problem with running Microsoft Paint (XP). The program runs
absolutely fine for the most part. But the right-click tools are an
issue. For instance, if I wish to draw a line using the selected
background colour, I would usually simply drag across the canvas area
with the right-click mouse button held down and it will draw a line in
the selected background colour.

When using crossover, I am unable to release the mouse button (Not
physically, of course :P) The tool I am using will still hook onto my
pointer after I have released the mouse button. The only way to
release it is by changing to another tool, or left clicking, both of
which results in losing the previously drawn line. I'm sure it's
difficult to get a picture of the problem I'm describing so I'd
suggest the best way of understanding is to open mspaint.exe and try
to use any of the tools with their right-click functions your self.

I am running the very latest version of CrossOver Pro on the very latest and up-to-date version of of OS X. I have tried enabling keyboard modifiers for mouse buttons, and I already have mfc42u.dll.
