Hi guys,
For the past few days, my mac was acting weird, all pages I would try to scroll would go back up. I troubleshooted the problem and found out the “Page up” button is stuck, however to my surprise my Macbook M2 16” doesn’t have a “Page up” button
The problem starts anywhere between 15mins-1hr after the laptop boots up. I can solve the problem by restarting my mac or going to System Settings>Keyboard>Key Repeat and change it to “Off” for a few seconds and then back to normal.
This seems to be a software issue, should I wait for a new Mac OS update or take my Macbook to a service center?
The current stable release of Sonoma including bug fixes, security updates is macOS 14.5

To trouble shoot further you can:
—A SafeBoot Use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support will sort many anomalies
Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled temporarily.
Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
This test will tell you if third party interference; most extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support
This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.
