Either I have lost the ability to type or something else is going on. I'm finding characters swapped around in tetx that I ytpe (that's been happening all the way through this email but I left those in to demonstrate).
Seems to be mostly in Chrome (I'm using Gmail to send this). Seems a particular issue on my Ubuntu laptop, but also happens on my Kubuntu desktop. Don't see it elsewhere.
Thoughts? It seems very bad today. Chrome is also running like a dog despite CPU and memory looking OK in htop. I tend to assume that characters go into a keyboard buffer and out in the same order no matter busy the PC is?
Seems particularly bad around spaces, eg lik ethis.
I suffer from similar typos and I'm pretty certain they are just typos, as you get to type faster and maybe less carefully the errors you describe just happen more.
I find the 'letter migrating across a space' one of the commonest.
