MacBook Pro Late 2016 15" keyboard problem

Hi there,

Wondering if anybody has experienced a similar problem to mine ? I've had a couple of crashes yesterday/today where I've had to shutdown the machine through the power button. Upon startup again, when I get to the login screen some of the keys fail to function:

Row 1 : -

Row 2 : I P [ ]

Row 3 : A D K L (H does backspace, \ does left arrow)

Row 4 : C M

(British Keyboard).

Upon clicking the restart icon and rebooting the keyboard functions correctly.

If this were consistent I'd concur a hardware problem, but given a reboot fixes I suspect software ?

Did you resolve this problem? Yesterday while using gmail and evernote on my MBP Late Model 2016 (purchased in dec-2016), i had problems with the letter "t". Every time I pressed "t", the cursor would move up or down 3 or 4 lines and my typing would show up in the wrong place.

Last night I rebooted my MBP and went to sleep. Today on rebooting, I am having problems with the hyphen and the space bar.

thx for your help,

I haven't experienced the problem again. That said, I haven't used the keyboard much as I had docked with a setup. Will continue to monitor. However, gut feel says there is something up..
