I doubt this as it only started on sunday night. No changes to keyboard layout and its also not the result of one of my powers

Sounds like Prestige Power Slide to me. Can you give us any more details about it?

No. Its like a swirling whirlpool (like a mini-galaxy) and small bubbles rise from it. And it hums loudly - which is annoying

I posted here cause I'm a blaster and figured it might be happening to other blasters

Both times its happend I've been fighting in PI - against Carnies, Malta, Nemesis and Circle - just random hunting.
I know its not a power of mine. Doubtful its a buff. Its probably not the result of a battle with a mob as all effects wear off shortly after the mob dies. I have run about with this for about 20 mins before I zoned out.
