You have been subscribed to a public bug:

What happens is when working on my Ubuntu 10.04, at a certain moment it's like my keyboard shift key is stuck.
That means, click becomes select. Scroll in firefox becomes back and forward. Quite anoying and somewhat hazardous. 

I don't think it's a hardware problem. I have no idea what triggers it.
"ctrl+caps lock" seems to undo it.
