Highlighting code with mouse goes wild in Visual Studio Code

When I try to highlight some code in Visual Studio code it goes crazy and moves very fast. E.g. I want to select around one page and end up selecting 10 "pages" worth of code.

How can I make it act normaly when I want to highlight some code?

I used to have the same issue. A weird behavior with mouse selection. This was my solution path.

Check for hardware failures.

  • Unplug the keyboard dongle. If suddenly the mouse selection goes well. Do this steps.
  • Check for keys stucked ✅
  • Uninstall the keyboard driver from Device Manager ✅
  • Change the dongle USB port ✅

And after all this steps, my cursor comes back to normality... for a while 😐.

  • Made the keyboard check with keyboard tester
  • Detect the key with the failure (Fortunately Insert in my case).
  • Download the app keytweak and disable that key.

This is a workaround if you don´t want to buy a new keyboard. I hope your failing key isn't any vocal 😬. If so... buy a new one.
