    This has already occured on this group. I had similar problems
with my old extended keyboard. I is a problem with the keyboards and
ADB drivers, not with a particular application. Basically, there are
certain combinations of keys (sorry, do not remember which) that when
pressed simultaneously, or close together in time, will produce
garbage output. The sequences and output are not random, but they do
cause problems.

    My solution was to take in my keyboard, tell them it was munged,
give them some example key sequences, hand them my Apple Care, and get
a new keyboard (Extended Mk. II). Works like a charm (99.9% of the
time).
