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.
