My macbook has lately acted weird.
Every so often, sometimes after hours of work, the alphanumeric keys disengage. Every other key works. I image maybe some thread or process in the OS takes hold of the event handlers for the keys or keyboard buffer memory or whatnot and fails to return it for other programs to use. It resolves if I log out and log back in, the alphanumeric keys function again. Demonstrating it's not the hardware, it's a software problem.
What's going on? Why does this suddenly happen? It seems completely independent of any particular program I have running, so I suspect it has something to do with the OSX itself. Anyone ever hear anything about this?
I'm running the following specs,
