My first idea (well, my second really! My FIRST was reboot) was that there may be some other part of the system attached to the colon key, say, a macro program or even OS X itself. To test this, create a new user account and try your operation. It may help you track it down. If the behaviour is not there, then you know it is in your user account.
Also, of course you should try trashing preferences. This is a complex procedure now, so make sure you are trashing the right file by looking up the instructions properly for your OS. In my experience you don’t have to actually put the prefs file in the trash; just drag it to the desktop or rename it, so that if the recreate prefs operation doesn’t solve the problem you can easily restore the old prefs file.
