I dunno, I've always sensed this happens sometimes but it's so
difficult to replicate.

I'm thinking it's a design issue at chip level .. perhaps hitting too
many things simultaneously is too much for the chip/brain to deal
with. But then I work with computers so that's where my thoughts would
initially go.

So I'm with you, I just don't have any answers.
