All content appearing bold

For some time now, all content on the wikis I edit has been appearing in bold text, regardless of whether or not it is formatted as such.

I am having this issue on both my home and work PCs, but strangely when I accessed one of these wikis on my friend's laptop at his house (using my wiki account), the text appeared as normal.

I use Google Chrome as my default browser, in case that has any effect on it, although I have also tested this on Internet Explorer on both the affected PCs and I get the same issue. Anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Does the same problem also happen when you use the same browser, but with another browser-user-profile?

Thanks for the links, but none of that seems to have worked.

You could be right about the browser, however this issue is affecting only Wiki sites - all other websites I visit are fine, including Wikipedia and, so far as I can see right now, this site.

Did you try another browser? Can you set up a new version of your current browser? Uninstall and then reinstalling it?

Yes, I've tried different browsers. But I shall try reinstalling Chrome.

However, the problem has just become even more confusing - today I have discovered this issue only occurs on certain Wikis. While the ones I edit most frequently appear all-bold, others I visit only casually are formatted correctly.

Please try by reinstalling the browser or by using a new browser user profile first.

If that did not help, check the developer tools in the browser. They will show you, where the bold style definition comes from.
