    Occasionally when I type, a variant character menu shows up


    Hi,Every so often whilst typing, this character menu pops up on screen, sometimes for even just a second and occasionally replaces my normal characters with the ones on the menu.It's becoming a little frustrating, as I can't seem to replicate any shortcut that opens the menu, or find a place in settings which relates to it.Has anyone seen this before, and know how I can disable it?TIA,Ben

    :)
