Too little space leads to too many spaces

Yesterday I encountered an oddity when I started to work on a Rev project: I started to get repeating space characters in the script editor. When I closed the script the problem seemed to go away, at least until I focused on a field when the spaces reappeared. My keyboard looked fine, and so I switched to another app and there seemed to be no problem... until I clicked in a editable place. I guessed that Rev had gone mad and so I quit it. That didn't fix the problem so I restarted the computer, which did.

Today I started the same Rev project and immediately found the same repeating space characters appearing in a field, and in my other apps. Oh no, a Rev bug bites? No!. It turns out that when I started to work with Rev each time I got out my project workbook and put it in front of the keyboard. The book didn't press the space key on that keyboard, but I have a second keyboard behind my monitor simply to act as a USB extender and when I put the workbook in front of my primary keyboard, I was pushing the keyboard back a bit which pushed the monitor back a bit which pushed some CD covers onto the space key of my USB extender keyboard!
