If there were a list of "most common problems" in the comp.sys.mac.*
newsgroups, this would have to be pretty close to the top!

The problem is simple: you've got a stuck key. As soon you start
editing a text field, the stuck key starts repeatedly feeding keystrokes
into it. Remember that when you click on an icon in the Finder and
start typing, the Finder assumes that you want to replace the name
of the icon.
