A moment of weird

Did a copy-and-paste of a cartoon onto a Facebook post. As I began to type the caption, I noted that the letters were all wrong. Thinking that I'd had my hands misplaced on the keyboard, I backspaced and started over, making sure my hands were correctly placed. Again, the letters were wrong, randomly switching cases and sometimes going to the front of the line.

To be on the safe side, I cancelled the post. Then I went to Word and a couple other places and typed in a test phrase; all normal. So, went back to Facebook for another attempt, and it went fine. Whew.

But I'm still wondering what the heck that was all about. Any ideas?

available. There were no blank keys, just fewer keys!

Cleared up quickly on it's own and no problem since.

Could a "bear" be testing for a hack?
