This may not be helpful, but I have had similar experiences when typing on a
laptop with a trackpad. Sometimes, if I'm typing fast, my thumb will
inadvertently touch the trackpad, which will serve as a mouse click on whatever
the cursor happens to be hovering over at the time. I have, on occasion, quite
accidentally deleted words and lines of text with my inadvertent thumb brushes.
I have learned to be careful to put the mouse cursor in a harmless location
while typing.
But, when that happens, I quickly hit undo and the text returns. You have
already tried that and it hasn't worked, so as I say, it may not be helpful.

Thanks for the comment. I'd understand better what happened if the
undo/redo history hadn't been empty. I can of course reproduce
"accidentally" typing ^A instead of shift-A, and ^S instead of Shift-S -
which would leave just the text typed in-between both in the on-disk
file and on-screen. But in that case undo/redo are available, or at
least they are when I try this. OTOH both were very definitely greyed
out in my wife's case, and that I cannot reproduce without closing the
file completely and re-opening it.
Very strange.
