This sounds like you're using default SoundFlow triggers. These have "I", "O" and "Q" and a few other triggers with no modifier keys.
Normally, SF is intelligent enough to understand when you're typing text (for example when renaming a track) and so our triggers automatically disable then. But we don't have the ability to know right now when you're entering in the Comments section.See more here:

Thanks, Christian. Temporarily disabling SoundFlow when entering track notes is probably the easiest workaround.
