Scroll lock bug in Visual Studio 2010

When I'm working in Visual Studio 2010, the IDE seems to switch to "Scroll Lock" mode at random times. Is this a new feature that I'm not aware of (initiated by some designated key/mouse-click) or a bug? I'm guessing this is actually a computer/hardware glitch on my system, but wanted to check if anyone else is experiencing this issue?

After I'm in this "mode", I can't seem to get out of it. I've tried physically turning ScrLk on/off multiple times, highlighting text, etc. I 'crazy-clicked' my way out of it once, but have no idea how. At that point, my only option is to close the IDE and restart, then everything is back to normal.
