Re: what settings to change to fix this basic problem?
Just in case the above doesn't do the trick :
Go to the 3-bar menu (or 'Tools' ) => Add-ons => Extensions and cast a critical eye over the extensions that are listed there.
If any of them (assuming you have any) look unfamiliar or suspicious : disable or remove them.

Does (some scrambled numbers letters) correspond to any extensions (shown in Addons Manager)?

If you don't have the menus displayed, press Alt+T to display the Tools menu.

If the OP is going to cross post on two different forums how are we supposed to help? Not doing this again
