Some actions happen twice?

I have Manjaro (duh) Gnome, the most recent update as per today 18/11/2022, and ever since I updated my devices, some actions happen twice when I do them.
For example, if I press Super to search for Spotify, when I press “s” once, “ss” appears in the searchbar, but it’s only sometimes & only if I was not previously on the searchbar already.
Now I noticed that also clicking on links, sometimes, opens the same tab twice.

I cannot yet seem to notice a patterns, but will update this post if I see it.

Have you checked keyboard repeat?

Oh, this is not the post I was referring to, as the one I first saw mentioned a single command which listed everything (or the vast majority of things) one may need, but thank you, I’ll run these & post the results :).

**Edit
So Sorry! It was the very first one I seemed to skip through :sweat_smile:

Sorry, I thought I replied a long time ago and now I was going through old posts I made, realising my reply never got uploaded.

I wouldn’t think it’s keyboard repeat, as it only happens when I am typing after pressing the Super button,
the Windows equivalent of browsing through installed apps after pressing the Windows key.

The webpage duplication I mentioned hasn’t happened anymore, but now every single time I press the Super button, if I don’t first click on the search-bar, it will double-up the 1st character, and the rest carries on normally.

I have no idea how to begin troubleshooting this
