Boot into Safe Mode and check if the problem persists. You should also
report if this issue is specific to one or to all applications.

The keys are next to each other. Any chance there is dirt or crumbs there?
Turn KB over and tap bottom lightly.

I suspect your keyboard. Those keys are right next to each other, so
be VERY sure that only one goes down at a time. They may be stuck to
each other somehow.

Try replacing your keyboard.

Why don't you try the obvious, first:

1) Try removing the piece of debris that has gotten lodged between the
two keys and is making them move simultaneously; or

2) Try a new keyboard.
