ou know, I had always thought that quirk was just my bad typing skills. 
Good to see it's finally fixed!

I just installed the update. Didn't even require a restart. It says in Software Update that it will automatically open the updater, but for me it did not and I had to go to the utilities folder and open it manually. I posted what the updater screen looks like below. No problems so far with the update. Too soon to tell if the keystroke issue is actually fixed though.

Hello,
I've downloaded the update for my MacBook and all I can say is "wow!", the update fixed the keystroke issue as well as the issue with using my external display with the lid down. So I 'm currently really happy.
cheers,

It really does make a difference. I can now write emails without having to keep going back to fill in the first letter.
I just checked for updates on my Macbook and it says everything is up to date
Try again, I didn't get it the first time I tried but did second time.
Might want to mention this update is only for Leopard users.
I still have Tiger, and when I checked the Software Update is said all my software was up to date. I then checked the Apple Downloads site and download the update and tried to install, and it gave me an error saying it needed at least 10.5 to install.

I've been having this problem since I got my MacBook Pro, which was long before Leopard.
I'm so glad that they've finally fixed it. I thought it was me being stupid for the longest time until I stumbled across a thread on the Apple support forums with a few pages of people discussing the same problem.
ooray!
