This seems to be correlated to the latest version I'm running (1859) but it's hard to say for sure.
All I know is that while editing Javascript or XAML sources, I get the following behaviour:

If I press a key twice in succession, the system begins to emit two of that key every time I press it once. For example, if I press the key 'A' once, I'll get 'a'. If I press 'A' again, I'll get 'aaa'. If I press it once more, I'll end up with 'aaaaa'.
This goes for every key on the keyboard, and it happens when editing .js sources as well as .xaml sources. It does not happen for C# or for .cpp sources.

If I disable VAssistX, the problem disappears.

Very strange problem. I wasn't able to reproduce it here, using VA 1859 and VS2010. What Visual Studio and Windows version are you using? Are you using any other Visual Studio extensions? Or any program that may capture keyboard strokes like a clipboard program? Do you recall what Visual Assist version have you used before?

One more significant datapoint: It only happens when I have 'double effective keyboard repeat rate' turned on.
I'm running Windows 7 x64, nothing esoteric.. no special keyboard/mouse drivers, etc.
I run no VS extensions other than VAssistX.

Now, I was able to reproduce this and I have put in a bug report:

case=62588

Turning on "double effective keyboard repeat rate" has helped indeed.
