So I think there might be some prank related to/in this plugin. I am running calibre on Windows 10.

After installing the plugin (via the method built-in to calibre) I started to notice funny behaviour. Specifically - random keyboard actions that I did not perform. I started Carnac to display what was being typed and it was variations of:

"cover" (long pause)
"generate" (long pause)
"plugin" (long pause)
Alt-F4 (multiple times in quick succession)
Ctrl+W (multiple times in quick succession)
Ctrl-V ( at random times)

This behaviour occurrs system-wide, but only after calibre had been launched in that session and had been running for quite a while. Exiting calibre doesn't stop the behaviour, only logging off stops it. The behaviour never occurs if I don't launch calibre in the session, and always occurs if calibre has been launched. The behaviour has persisted after removing the plugin, removing calibre, and reinstalling calibre (without the plugin). The ghost still types "cover generate plugin" and closes tabs and windows, regardless.

Can anyone give me tips on resolving this issue? Thanks
