sometimes, when pull dashboard , start typing, letters don't work. no matter how many times hit letter on keyboard, nothing happens. problem intermittent, though, , if close , re-open dashboard, works. also, i've noticed in chromium, blanks in forms stop taking input altogether. if switch programs , go it, works again. i'm not sure if these 1 or 2 issues. neither unworkable, they're both extremely aggravating. in case hardware-related issue, i'm using toshiba satellite p755. appreciate suggestions! use external usb keyboard see if problem internal keyboard.
