Why, when I type in the address bar and select from the drop-down list, do I seem to "click through" onto one of the toobar buttons?

I noticed recently that sometimes when I selected an entry from the drop-down list after I started typing in the address bar, I would get a different page to the one I wanted. It turned out that I was actually clicking the bookmarks toolbar button that was hidden under the list entry I thought I was clicking.

Hi, thanks but disabling hardware acceleration didn't fix it. However, I just swapped my mouse, and it doesn't seem to happen any more!
