When this happens, can you try holding down the shift key for say
15-20seconds? Do you see a notice then about 'slow keys' being
disabled
and it starts working again?
This would appear to be an instance of a fairly well documented
problem. Bugzilla # 816764. If holding down the shift key does not
work, try toggling Slow Keys in Settings->Accessibility. I've found
that toggle followed by the shift key usually works. But, alas, YMMV.
