Randomly bound touch movements?!

[cellardoor]

Hello, I have a odd problem/question.

just received a mogul in an insurance trade when my old apache's headphone jack stuck in. decided to keep stock rom on the mogul Im useing now(3.35.651.2 with radio 3.35.04) since this is the 2nd mogul sprint gave me for free replacement; 1st one came brand new with a bad wifi switch that didnt function at all (wonderful experience). Cant get buildos to work on either mogul, but that is a different problem (dont need it anyway and ive tried everything).
INDEED, On to this new problem:

I noticed on my today screen if i scroll from left to right just on the desktop (with or without stylus), it opens my text messages; and if I do it twice in succesion, it soft resets my phone. Has Any one else experienced this or know how to disable it?
