'Command B' opens list of browser tabs in Google Chrome instead of making text bold

As the title says, in Google Chrome (and possibly elsewhere) 'Command B' keyboard combination has started opening a list of currently open browser tabs, instead of making highlighted text 'bold' in a dialog box, site comment thread etc.

Command I is still making text italic.

I've tried going to keyboard settings and changing it in Chrome shortcuts, but there's no 'Command B' listed. I've also tried looking within Google Chrome preferences and it's the same.

Appreciate any help reverting or removing this change of keyboard shortcut function.

iMac 27″, OS X 10.11

I Googled this same issue, found the answer and this worked for me, see below:

"This was a mistake. A follow-up release has been submitted to remove the shortcut.

In the meantime, you can disable the shortcut here: chrome://extensions/shortcuts"

So I went in the extension and there was this extension called "Session Buddy" that I don't even remember downloading or getting, and it automatically had changed "command B" on my mac to open a new tab, you can either edit it to be command some other letter or just delete it. I deleted it. Hope this helps.
