Q: Why does my Magic Mouse sometimes bring up a menu when clicking on an app or process?

Sometimes after my mouse has been alive for a while when I point and click to activate a function, instead of opening the app or initiating the function, when point and click another menu pops up.  I can make the menu go away by clicking "escape," but it still will not activate the operation. 

 

This happens on my iMac with magic mouse as well as on my MacAir connected to another magic mouse.

 

What's up with that?
