Gah, Ari... that's scary stuff, that is.

The only time I've ever seen that happen here is when I his the preview button on a post, and then it's in the blogs...

Maybe the key on your comptuer is stuck? LIke something sticky got under it, and just holds it down, and hitting any key remotely close to that key sets it off?

or your computer is posessed and hates you with a passion.

Oh.... wait! Laptop or desktop comptuer? If it's a laptop, well, I think those spaz a lot, it seems (like my dad's makes random page jumps all the time, especially in the evilness that is Microsoft Word). Maybe? I'm the farthest from a teckie geek it gets, so... that's about as much help as I can be. Good luck!

Could it be software, not even the keyboard?

Yeah, it's probably 'cos that key is stuck somehow on your keyboard. I don't know if you've ever pulled the surface of a key off before (I have done, food accidents and all). But if you look under, there might be something that keeps making the key think it's being pressed. It might happen when you press a key nearby or something, I don't know. But just take a look under and clean it.

If that doesn't work, your keyboard might just be screwed. Uninstall all the drivers and stuff, and then reinstall everything.
