w-scan influencens other applications during scan

[Thomas]

My browser and system behaved strange during and after I enterd the w_scan command.
Firefox was selecting each link on a page in a stepwidth of appr. 1 sec during the scan and if I open a new terminal following happens
tommy@Tommy-AIO:~$
Display all 2805 possibilities? (y or n)

So for me it looks like w-scan sends out a hotkey to the global system.
