The user complained that the computer was randomly inserting spaces whenever she typed. So I remoted into her system, locked out her controls, and nothing wrong happened. Unlocked her and let her type, and sure enough, random spaces.
After replacing her keyboard and being told that it was still ongoing, I went up to investigate on-site. Sat down at the computer and typed... and nothing went wrong.
So I asked her to sit down and type, and spotted the issue rather quickly.
The user in question was somewhat older, and, shall we say, rather well-endowed, with a habit of leaning forward over the keyboard as she typed...
