Do you know on which browser this happened?

Sounds to me like a javascript error somewhere. Then the javascript call
breaks and the browser does not see the "return false" anymore.

We have more href attributes filled this way with a return false at the
onclick. This is not the first time this is used in the BE of TYPO3.

I've tested this on Windows FF3, FF2, IE7, IE6, Opera9, Safari4 beta and
Chrome

Cheers
