My wife was the one that noticed this. This happens at various times, when I
click on a link it doesn't do anything unless I click on the same link again and
when your working on a laptop and have to deal with the touch pad, it tends to
get annoying and frustrating. 

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Just surf the net
2.Click on a link on a website and nothing will happen
3.Clicking on the same link for the website to open the link desired.

> I have to double click every time. If the first click is on the link, the page moves up and I have to move my cursor back to the link and click again. If I click on a blank spot of the page first and then click the link, it will work, but I still have to double click either way. Who knows how to fix this?
