There's this one Chrome (?) bug I've been experiencing for a long time on Linux.

Every once in a while, the browser detects I'm typing "±±±±±±+..." and writes that to any selected text input. It stops when I type anything, but sometimes comes back rather quickly.

I thought it was a keyboard issue, but it doesn't affect Firefox or other applications, only Chrome based ones like Spotify and VSCode.

I've found no other mention of this on the internet and I'd love to to hunt this down and fix it but have no clue where to start. I guess the first step would be to consistently reproduce the bug...

If you're interested, I screen recorded it happening once. Mind there's music playing: https://youtu.be/S7OGTULLsqg.
