What have you done for all-purpose trouble-shooting so far?
Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point:

I tried to reboot the computer, tried to reboot the program itself, checked all the hotkeys to make sure I didnt mess something up by accident. All my preferences are set to default.

Since the Backspace key is so close to the right bracket, perhaps your inadvertently hitting the Backspace key as well?

I don't think so but I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks.

I cannot replicate the issue on Windows with Photoshop version 25.7. What version of Photoshop are you using? It's possible that your input language is not set to English.

But what language version?

And what is the keyboard/OS language?
