I don't know why but it since yesterday chat got some numbers between words of my messages.
Double checked keyboard but nothing weird happened.
Someone had the same problem?

System: Debian GNU/Linux 10, x86 64 bit, ManaPlus 1.9.3.23

Does it only happens on ManaPlus, or does it happens on a notepad window as well?

In the later case, you may have a bot running. (For example, tmw2_bot.py or tmw2_bot.sh - are two bots which could be sending number "2" randomly to trigger skills) (Note: botting is only allowed on ML!)

If not a bot, some other program which controls input. In fact, worst case, you could have installed a spyware (keylogger) and be sending all your passwords to someone other than CIA/NSA. I would advise running the relevant checks. (proccess list, sha256 of /usr/bin/top, etc.)

If it only happens on ManaPlus, then it is weird; Specially because M+ doesn't updates itself.

Probably I've discovered the issue: color chat was set on rainbow... :?
