Problems with Live Chess

I've noticed lately that my pieces often drop somewhere unintended when I'm trying to make a move.  I want to move somewhere and the piece suddenly drops elsewhere, sometimes a ridiculous move.  Have others had this problem --or do I need a new mouse or something?

Also, is there a way to abort a game that my opponent abandons --or does departing require resigning.

In the first 10 moves, there is a long move timer, intended to pick up abandonment.

They also have started adjudicating some  games when the opponent leaves a clearly lost position.

After that, however, you must just wait.
