Whenever I press a key on my keyboard (except when I'm typing) it starts finding the letter I pressed in the page I'm currently in. So whenever I press a hotkey on a website, it starts finding that letter instead of doing what that key was supposed to. I'm pretty sure this is a new feature because I never had this problem before.

If the 'find as you type' feature is enabled then the Quick Find bar opens if you press any key.

The normal Find bar should only open via "Ctrl+F" (press ESC to close the Find bar if it has focus).
