[Bug 852537] [NEW] Characters spontaneously scrambled in Gmail

[l0b0]

Public bug reported:

While typing an email, suddenly all the characters in the text area was
changed to completely different ones (see the anonymized attachment),
without any message or other sign of weirdness. It is the first time
this has happened, in any application, after many years of using the
same OS and browser. I tried to delete part of the text and undoing
(Ctrl-Z), and the *original* version of the *deleted* text came back
(but the rest of the text stayed scrambled). This leads me to believe
that it's a browser or OS issue, not a plugin issue.
