Type Box fills with x's
When I choose the Type Box tool, and click in the document to create a Type Box or simply place text, as soon as the box is created, it fills with X's/squares and goes off on it's own continually typing the X/square.
At that point I am not touching the keyboard, there is no key being held down, yet it seems to be "stuck" in creating the X/square.
Initially it only happened with Myriad Pro, so I uninstalled that font. Then it continued to do it with Arial. Now it does it, no matter what. I've un-installed Illustrator and re-installed and am still dealing with the same issue. I've attached a video here. You'll see the first time I go to type, it does it.
Then, I create a new box and it does not do it. It works normally.
I create another box, and it starts doing it again. I am not touching the keyboard or any keys when the x/square boxes go off on their own.
When I do try to continue typing, you'll see the text continue to run away even when parts of words appear, the x/square shows up in the middle.
