    Eh, is it just when you type this or is it when you type everything?

    Could be an issue with your keyboard (hardware or driver).

    Ah wait, so it's not everything you type just your username? Looks like your browser just saved your username in the logon field so it populates itself.

    What browser are you running, you can turn this off.

    Is this happening all over your system on all programs - i.e. if you press "h" do 2 or more h's appear at the same time?

    Or, as you type in a log in to a web browser (only) - as soon as you start typing in your username does it complete itself or show a previously typed entry in a box underneath?

    It's called autocomplete. You've already typed that string of characters into that textbox before so the application tries to help you out by guessing what you're typing. If you want to use the suggestion just click on it or use the down arrow key to select it and hit enter.
