it does seem that the issue is with the 32.0.1700.102 version of Google Chrome.
I've got several users who are experiencing the problem. It only seems to happen when you are working with sites that open popups (the kind you want) such as opening and email in a new window in Google Mail.
Its seams like the latest update may have helped fix the issue(32.0.1700.102 m), or some users are reporting that the v33 beta does not have the issue. https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/chrome/1PgURxP9_-k/It9TupoPEgQJ
