built-in keyboard sometimes stops working

Every so often when I go to use the keyboard/trackpad on MacBook Pro it doesn't allow me to select anything although it will usually move the arrow around. I have to either play with the trackpad to have it start working again or reboot.


MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.15
