1. I'm pretty sure that's not a DU4 bug

I don't think there's a way that site code can alter browser behavior like that. Potentially there might be something about the formatting of the URL which could cause it -- say, a question mark character in the URL causes an issue with the browser's selection process, or something like that. But if that were the case, you would run into it on other sites because we're not doing anything unusual with our URLs. We're using the same characters as other sites all over the Internet.

Is it possible that this has occurred occasionally on other sites, but you only just happened to notice it now?

I'm not completely ruling this out as a DU4 bug by the way -- just saying that in this particular case, my gut feeling is that the issue lies elsewhere...
