Oops - I meant to delete that for international 'groups.

Same happen when you move the keyboard to a different computer?


Laptop.


You've probably answered this already, but does the same thing happen
when you use a different keyboard *in addition to* the laptop keyboard?

As you probably know, you can simply plug in a second keyboard in the
same way that you can plug in a second mouse. Both keyboards will be
active at the same time, so you can type on either one. When you
encounter the issue with the laptop keyboard, reach over and type on the
other keyboard. If you don't have the issue with that keyboard, it could
be your laptop keyboard that's failing.

I think you talked about the built-in On-Screen Keyboard earlier, but I
don't remember. A second external keyboard might be a better test.

Apologies if you've already been there and done that.
