My keyboard has been misbehaving lately but 2 days ago a grey, transparent band appeared at the bottom of the screen and nonsense characters in black boxes appear when I type.  These characters are unrelated to the actual keys pressed.

How do I get rid of this, as it obscures messages and buttons in applications I'm using?
I have shutdown and restarted my notebook but these still return.  Any help would be appreciated.
