Comment(by joe):

 Replying to [comment:6 Eben]:
 > Do we have record of the characters which are appearing? Is there a
 chance that the keys are adjacent to the zoom keys, and either triggered
 inadvertently when pressing the button, or by a faulty keyboard (similar
 to the sticky alt key)? Does it occur on many machines, or on a select
 few?  In any case, if at least the characters that appeared were
 repeatable, even if the test isn't, that could give us a small lead.

 half a dozen machines and not nearly as many test hours as QA.  Still. it
 might be machine specific, or at least quite infrequent bug.
 --------------
 I've seen this pretty often, multiple times, so tomorrow I'll try to
 engage enough machines to see (if I'm lucky) whether I can catch several
 cases so we can get, at least,  some statistics.
