After typing the following, the thought occurs to me: are you sure you aren't accidentally pressing LMB when you press the MMB? I've got fat fingers and it's hard to do a MMB press without hitting the LMB on a lot of mice out there.
Have you tried plugging your mouse into a different port? I can't say positively that this can happen if a port is going out so it's worth a try. Do you have a PS/2 port for a mouse and tried that? Might help diagnose an issue.
At a hardware level, you could have a bad mouse (checked by using a different mouse), a bad port (can cause a variety of problems other than just quit working), bad chip on the motherboard (assuming using a USB mouse in this modern day, but applies to older PS/2 hardware). However, these should be causing problems in a variety of places, so you can probably ignore this.
At software level, you have the client, and only thing I can think of doing is clearing it off your computer and downloading again to see if it fixes it. If not, check check mouse drivers and motherboard/USB drivers. Again, problems in drivers should show themselves elsewhere.
