I suppose you mean just "moving" the mouse, here we use "dragging" for
moving the mouse with one of its buttons pressed.  Are "tools" and
"peview" submenus of the latex menu?

Are all wrong entries somewhat related to latex?  From the text above
it sounds so.  But since you earlier said that 'dired' had similar
problems ...

I would try to isolate the problematic modes first, if there are any.
For example, if you start Emacs with -Q and invoke 'dired', can you
produce the problem?

It depends.  If the problem is in the GTK version, it might help to
downgrade GTK only (not really advisable if other applications depend
on a GTK library).  In either case, downgrading anything should be the
last option to try.
