There have been a rather large number of people who have had this problem recently, and so far it is not clear why some do and some don't.

As P. Phillips suggested, try updating the OS to the most current version.

I can't say it will fix it, because I never had this problem on my own mac, though plenty of others have. It is still a mystery to me. Here's hoping that the update silently fixed something that makes this problem a thing of the past.
