MacBook, MacBook Pro update 1.1 doesn't fix first-letter-missing syndrome
issing first letters continue...
Contrary to our report earlier in the week, it appears that MacBook/Pro Software Update 1.1 does not fix an issue where the first letter typed after a period of inactivity is missing (exemplified in an Apple Discussions thread titled "ELP! - first letter always missing!"), though it does resolve a general issue where the keyboard suddenly becomes unresponsive.
Unfortunately, this particular issue (missing first letter) might be hardware related. Several users have reported that the problem does not manifest with external keyboards, and that replacement keyboards from Apple do not exhibit the issue.
Apple is still responding to customer inquiries with an indication that this is a known issue.
