Title:
  Characters spontaneously scrambled in Gmail

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
