I've had this happen a number of times over the years. I have had to restart the computer.  (I also use the Tilde key a lot to switch between languages, so maybe it sometimes sticks too....)

Hi @Karyalogo,

 

Thanks for sharing the details and screenshots. As the expert suggested, it can happen if the tilde (~) key is stuck or being registered while you work. Please try pressing the tilde key once to reset it, then restart Illustrator and check if the issue continues. If it still happens, kindly share your Illustrator version and operating system details, so I can look into it further.

 

Looking forward to your update.

The ~ (tilde) key can be used to get this effect. Maybe it got stuck?
