You can check your last keystrokes with `C-h l':

,----[ C-h k C-h l ]
| C-h l runs the command view-lossage (found in global-map), which is an
| interactive native-compiled Lisp function in ‘help.el’.
| 
| It is bound to C-h l, <f1> l and <help> l.
| It can also be invoked from the menu: Help → Describe → Show Recent
| Inputs
| 
| (view-lossage)
| 
| Display last few input keystrokes and the commands run.
| For convenience this uses the same format as
| ‘edit-last-kbd-macro’.
| See ‘lossage-size’ to update the number of recorded keystrokes.
| 
| To record all your input, use ‘open-dribble-file’.
| 
|   Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 23.1.

`----

So next time this happens, hit `C-h l' and see what you've hit.
