I see. I used to see this bug a couple releases ago and unfortunately I am unable to reproduce it reliably, so I didn't file a bug report. If you know how to reproduce the problem, I suggest filing a bug report at crbug.com.
It all happened when I tried to drag and drop a link from a google search and open it in another tab: for some reason the link was stuck to the mouse pointer and when I managed to release it the aforementioned bug happened. I don't know if I can reproduce it, right now all I have is this screenshot.
