Hi all, Thanks a million for the quick responses. I guess the problem is with the option key because this gets fixed as soon as I press the option key after those weird symbols start appearing. But nothing seems to be physically wrong with the option key. I mean, it's not like it's stuck or anything. It's working perfectly otherwise. So, what should I do? This problem is occurring more frequently now than ever before. Furthermore, the web inspector thingy also gets automatically enabled from time to time. I have to hide the web inspector in order to restore things back to normal.
