I think fearlessfreap is right. Even on PC Laptops with a Trackpad I have had that happen all the time.

i've had that problem on many of my notebooks due to the touchpad. you don't realize it but just a stray tap can screw everything up.

There is an option in the prefrences to turn off acidental trackpad input which I guess would stop the problem but I haven't used it so I'm not sure how well it works.
