Try using the stylus instead of the finger and see if it still happens.
Also, I think there is a fnction somewhere to calibrate the screen so it recognizes where your pointer is. Not sure where though...
I Think I have it figured it out - it's pretty simple when you think about it.

(Not absolutely sure, but this situation DOES duplicate what gudrun45 is describing)

I think what happened was that the reader was set to the Table Of Contents page when the Font Mode was changed, and a double tap was used where only a single tap was needed.

If you double tap where only a single tap is needed, then that unnecessary second tap is read after the reader has already closed the popup window, and if it lands on one of the hyper links in the TOC - BINGO -> THE PRS-350 CORRECTLY JUMPS TO SOME OTHER PLACE IN THE BOOK.

Now that I think back on it, this happened to me a few times when I first got my Sony, until I figured out that most of the time the Sony wants SINGLE TAPS (double tapping is only used to bring up the dictionary or mark text).

So most likely this is what happened.
