did you use the mouse wheel to scroll? If you did you might have
accidentally pressed it; pressing the mouse wheel is the same as
pressing the middle mouse button and pastes the content of the "*
register. You can disable this behaviour with

  :map <MiddleMouse> <nop>
  :map <MiddleMouse> <nop>

(See :help <MiddleMouse> for more info.)

Regards,
Jürgen
