As I said in an earlier post, I turned off screen saving and haven't had
the problem since.

You're right. I can't imagine what happened earlier as I definitely
copied the number correctly (I checked and rechecked) yet I kept getting
the wrong page. In fact the page has the bug number on it and that was
also wrong (IOW it was the right number on the wrong page). Perhaps a
cache problem with Chromium.
