Left click sometimes does strange things
My laptop keyboard and mouse keys are starting to wear out, but one problem seems particularly curious. The left click on my touchpad mostly works normally, except in a few situations. In Chrome (but not IE), when I click on a tab, the tab closes. I'm not clicking the X or anywhere near it. Also, when I click on Chrome's back button, the previous page opens in a new tab, rather than it sending me back within the same tab. And it's not just Chrome. Sometimes when I click on a program window, Windows "unfocuses" that window, so the window title bar turns a lighter shade, like I've clicked on something outside the window.
I'm wondering if Windows thinks I'm holding down a key when I'm clicking my mouse? I've tried to find info about Chrome that would suggest what would make a left click behave this way, but I'm stumped.
