Mouse not working correctly in Chrome in a Windows 8 laptop

Here is the oddest mouse I've seen in years....

Open Chrome, search google, open URL in new tab.
Left click on tab and it closes !!!?

Found this issue: Cause low battery in wireless mouse except I'm not using a wireless mouse.

Unplug the mouse and plugged it back in and everything is good.

Very Odd.
