> Every once in a while, the browser detects I'm typing "±±±±±±+..."

Interesting bug! Not exactly following on what triggers the bug. Do you have a ± key on your keyboard (some international one)? Or does it occur after e.g. pressing "+", then "-"? Do you use compose keys? Does it do this randomly?



I don't have a ± key. I'm using swaywm which seems to have no compose key set by default, I've tried all the common ones and they don't act as such.

I haven't been able to detect any pattern to what triggers this, at all. It is always "±".


You could probably set up some keylogging to see if anything special is happening before it, it'd also let you know for sure if it's a keyboard issue or not.


Maybe there's buggy malware involved?


Buggy malware is jusy a feature
