[RESOLVED] Symbols like %('& appear when using the arrow keys in Google Docs

As of this evening, Google Docs started inserting unwanted symbols into my documents when using arrow keys (and perhaps some other keys as well).

Are anyone else experiencing these problems? And what could this be?

Edit: As of Sept. 28'th, 5:30 PM I no longer have this issue.

I have no idea as the issue magically disappeared for me.
Try updating Opera, deleting your Google Docs cookies and deleting your private data. Let me know if the issue disappears.

Ok I found out why some users get this error. It's because browserJS might have become disabled. You can enable it again by following the instructions on this page:
Browser JavaScript

Make sure you check out how to manually update it if the first method doesn't work.
