How can I diagnose this?
    

Most important: Which text editor are you using? Does it also harppen
in, say, nano (a terminal program) or in a web browser when entering
text in a form field?

It happens in OpenOffice Writer and Calc, IceDove, FaceBook messages and posting, Nano, Vi and probably some other programs that I'm forgetting to list. It happens when in a te(just happened here when I typed "r")rminal emulator, but I'm not sure if it happens when typing in a terminal (alt-F1 to alt-F6). It appears to happen when I type an "r" more often than some other letters. It happened when I was running KDE and it's still happening now that I use IceWM and FluxBox.

Thanks for your interest and help in finding the problem.

Any ideas? It seems to be getting worse.

I just ran Nano in a terminal (alt-F2) and it worked fine.
