comma key make alt key active

I'm using MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) with Mojave OSX

Recently weird thing happen, everytime I press comma/double quote keys, alt key become active without I press and it will keep behave like being pressed all the time

This happen when I activated "Enable sticky keys"

When I disable this option, alt key randomly get stuck without even being press at all

How can I fix this problem?

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.14

Try a SafeBoot hhttps://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262 to simply clear caches.


Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc. Login and test. Reboot and test
