There's no way of knowing whether it's the same thing, but I sometimes 
see a very unexpected problem that can cause similar effects: I 
middle-click in my browser and somehow it seems to be interpreted as 
rotating the mouse wheel and _then_ middle-clicking.  The result: every 
time I try, I consistently open the same, wrong page.

I forget why, but at some point I became convinced that it was not the 
mouse itself that caused the problem.  Most likely reason is that I 
tried with my laptop's wheel-less button, but not sure.  I haven't seen 
the problem in a while, so could be a bug fix or maybe disabling mouse 
gestures.

Again, not saying this is necessarily the same problem, but Bengali and 
Brazilian Portuguese are about the right distance apart on the page.
