Today my keyboard started doing weird things. When I go to log-in to
sites on Firefox using my password manager (KeePassX) the hot-key for
entering user-id & password is ctrl + v, when I did that it launched a
spreadsheet that I have a desktop icon for. When I tried again it just
kept on maximizing that spreadsheet window. I closed all apps and did
the Bill Gates maneuver, with no change. I then removed KeePassX and
re-installed it. Also I had deleted the icon for that particular
spreadsheet.

The behavior seemed to improve except that when I select the log-in
that I want to use in KeePassX I have to actually hit the enter key
before ctrl + v, otherwise my password gets bookmarked in Firefox. Now
all of a sudden when I use ctrl + v in KeePassX it will change tags on
email messages, I've archived several messages, starred many messages
and deleted a few messages, in Thunderbird.

The main problem seemed to have started yesterday. I had bought a
cubieboard on Saturday night. They are being sold through Ali Express
part of Alibaba. I had to create an account with them and was then
able to place the order. Last night I went to log-in to my Ali-Express
account and it would just sit their spinning and spinning and
spinning, never going past the log-in screen. I went through the
motion of changing my password through the forgot my password, which
it accepted, but no change.

This morning I booted and the keyboard issue really started up as I
mentioned at the beginning. It had one time did some weird stuff to
Thunderbird when I used KeePassX yesterday, but just the one time, so
I thought it was just a fat finger thing on my part.

Has anybody had any dealings with Ali Express?

Besides redoing my install from scratch, any ideas of what I should be
looking at?

I'm planning on trying other users to see if I get similar results later.
