Hi,

since a couple of days my Macbook keyboard is acting very strangely. When I turn my Mac on, every second time (!) the permanent shift key and the Num. F6 key are activated, but the keyboard reacts as if they were not. When I deactivate them it reacts the other way round. It requires a restart for the keyboard the act normal again. The next time I start my Mac it is wrong again.
Hope this description was understandable.

Has anybody experienced the same or something similar?
Will 10.5.2 be the fix for this?

Thx to all!
 
I don't know the specifics, but several people are having intermittent keyboard issues with MacBooks. I thought Apple released a software update that was supposed to fix this, but I could be mistaken. Check your software update. It's most likely software/Leopard related, but there's an outside chance it's a hardware problem (loose connection happens). Search around discussions.apple.com for more information regarding well known keyboard problems of late.
