Yes, sounds very much like my problems. Mostly it's pretty random. |
| 50 |
Clicking on some random link on random web sites can set it off. All |
| 51 |
sort of little things make it happen. The only semi-consistent thing |
| 52 |
I've found that's sort of repeatable from day to day is the |
| 53 |
rearranging of tabs. That will almost always make it happen after |
| 54 |
logging in the first time of the day. |
