When Touching = Pushing

Either I've gotten real strong or I'm doing something wrong. It doesn't happen too often, but sometimes when I go to activate something by touching, I end up pushing the object. It's always something I own and no I wasn't in edit mode. Somethings I can lock to prevent it from moving but some, like doors, work if locked.

Is it just me or is this happening to anyone else?

The most successful software company in the world does a piss-poor job on all these points. Particularly the first three. Why do you expect Linden Labs to do any better?
Yes, it's true, I have a blog now!

That's a, *ahem*, feature.

I avoid by using the pie menu.

I complained about this one to find out it's a "feature". Scripted object automatically allow grab like physical objects, unless you run llSetStatus(STATUS_BLOCK_GRAB, TRUE);

I've have little success with STATUS_BLOCK_GRAB.

This is what is known in SL as "inappropriate touching."
