1. This is not an issue with your OS.

The Solution?

Its the Insert key on your keyboard, not Gmail, press it once, NOTE number lock may have to be turned off first depending on your keyboard type.

If the problem still persists, just detach and attach your keyboard. If you are using Wireless mouse, turn that off and on again.
