Keyboard Stops Typing in Browsers

Hello All,


When typing or using arrow keys in any internet browser (I have tried Chrome and Safari), the keyboard will stop working unexpectedly. As I am typing this, I have to keep clicking on this field because the window "dims" as if I had clicked on the desktop. However, the internet browser (chrome in this instance) menu is still across the top of the screen. Like this:

In the above picture, the green border at the top should be darker.


If I am watching Netflix, HBO Go, or a video on youtube in full screen, the menu bar will reappear at the top of the screen, and so will the cursor, like this: User uploaded file

If I am playing a game with the arrow keys, my character will lock up and continue moving that direction.


All of these problems occur in both Chrome and Safari.


Thank you in advance for any help that you can provide.
