Q: MacBook Pro - FileVault - Password Entry (Types By Itself)
Hello,
I have purchased a new MacBook Pro 15-Inch and immediately setup FileVault for whole disk encryption. From time to time now, when I turn the computer on after shutting it down (From the Apple Logo > Shutdown, with Resume disabled), the computer will automatically start typing in the password field to unlock the computer. It takes a couple minutes of tedius timing to get my password in there, character by character, trying to delete whatever characters are automatically typing in. I never have this issue anywhere else on the computer, everything works perfectly fine. I haven't had multiple characters type, or the computer act strange anywhere else, except at the FileVault unlock screen. Has anyone had this problem and know a solution for this? It doesn't happen every time, it may happen once or twice a week.
Turning the computer off, resetting SMC, moving to a different room, nothing fixes it. I do not have Bluetooth turned on, and no bluetooth devices at my house. I am completely up to date and no issues in Disk Utility.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
