Pointer hover problem

In Vivaldi when the pointer hovers over the resize slider in the lower right corner of the window, the window reacts as if clicked.
In Libreoffice when I use any keyboard shortcut (control-s, control-c, control-v, etc.) and press only the control key the same thing happens, the window resizes.
In both cases, if I hold down on the control key, the window (in Vivaldi or Libreoffice) continuously gets smaller.
Remember, I’m a Linux newbie. I can follow instructions in the Terminal.
Thanks in advance for your help.

It also happens in Firefox, Inkscape, and Nemo, not in Xed text.

And in case it matters, here’s my system:

Honestly, that looks to me like there is a key locked on the keyboard because of dirt or a mechanical problem. Clean up your keyboard first…

When does this problem start?
