My Macbook pro 2017 dot button is pressed twice when i press it once. So instead of this . i sometimes get this .. The same happens when i press shift and do something like this 😝 usually this is what happens :P:
The Macbook is a 2017 Macbook Pro with the touch bar.

Does the dot key feel the same as the other keys when you press it, or could there be some debris (dirt, dust, crumb...) caught underneath it?
Here's an article on how to clean the MacBook Pro keyboard (with the butterfly mechanism used in the later models) - maybe it will help:

Another thing to consider is that the Delay Until Repeat setting in System Preferences > Keyboard may be set too short. Most of the keys will not repeat when you keep holding them, so you may not notice, but the . key will.

My MacBook has same issue as yours, except it is the "g" key, some times it does not respond, some times it respond twice.

The key feels the same, so I don't think that there is some debris caught underneath it, but I will try to follow the article and see if it helps.
The Delay Until Repeat is also very good tip! Thank you!
EDIT: Delay Until Repeat did not help 😟 As soon as I get a can of compressed air, I will try to clean the keyboard.
