Keyboard has retardation

So starting today I noticed that when I type something here the place where the text comes out will suddenly randomly jump to a point above and begin typing there instead. Like right in the middle of a word. And in each reply it will jump to the same place over and over.

Anyone know what this is or experience this themselves? Virus? I'm on a mac if that matters.

Or is this an NS glitch maybe?

Nope definitely the computer. I can leave it without my hands anywhere and it'll pop up to a random spot. Annoying as hell.

It's slowly trying to drive you insane after all your years of hitting it.

or your data encryption algorithm parameters aren't set right, but that'd be close to impossible. o.o

I'm having the same problem. Definitely not my computer, I just typed a 7 page research paper with no issue.

Like just on NS? That would be good to know. Keyloggers sound not too good...
