Git Bash Inserts Tilde

Does anyone know what could be causing git bash to randomly insert the tilde character in the terminal window.

Also I am not sure if related, but when viewing log files in vim, the help dialog automatically opens in a split window in vim.

Does anyone know what the issue could be? I suspect it could be some sort of keep alive setting, but I have yet to figure this one out.

Same as above answer.

Caffeine was causing it for me.
What I did was add a command argument -useshift and this stopped it completely.

For more command line things: Caffeine command line arguments

I finally found the answer to the issue from https://superuser.com/questions/708511/putty-inserts-random-characters-during-a-session I had also just installed Caffeine about a month ago, and that is when the symptoms began! Now that I have it disabled the symptoms above have gone away!
