Key Not Working Sometimes

Around one in every three power-cycles or so, one of the keys on the keyboard will not work. It will get highlighted but not translate to that character being sent to the application. The key can even be a special key where the alphabetic key in the same position would work. If the problem occurs with a lower-case alphabetic key then the same upper-case letter will work.

When this occurs, the key that does not function regardless of the application being used.

The workaround for this problem is to reboot the device, though there's some chance the next power cycle will make a different key not function.

This has occurred on both the dev kit and the phone. The problem seems to have appeared sometime within the past three weeks or so.

I am not sure if this is reproducible in the VM or not.

Here is an occurrence on the dev kit, it so happened to be the "n" key but could have been any other one:

keyboard_button_not_working

Edit: it seems another workaround would be to rotate the screen, and potentially rotate it back.
