Annoying Problem

Besides Windows, my computer has an annoying problem that manifests itself randomly. It's happening right now, and on a much larger scale than it ever used to.

When I click a window's button on the taskbar, it gets focus as normal. But if I try to click anything at all on that window, even on the title bar (say, to close the window), the window loses focus. The only way to make it regain focus is to minimize and restore it with the taskbar, which for whatever reason still works with the mouse.

How the hell am I typing this then? Keyboard events still work fine. I can change tabs in firefox with Ctrl+Tab (not sure if it's built in, Tab Mix Plus has options for it though), use Tab to move through the links on a page, and Enter to "click" links.

This is really annoying, as you can tell, and I don't know the fix for it. My only recourse at the moment is to reboot. Which I hate doing.

Edit: okay this is really weird. I wanted to link to this in an update on twitter, so I went to bit.ly to shorten the post's URL. Since they use web 2.0 faggotry I couldn't just hit enter on the shorten button and have it work. So I clicked it, and now mouse events work as expected once again.

Web 2.0 is anti-accessibility. Adding that to my list of reasons why I hate it.
