Hi, I've seen this happen to me from time to time....

Sometimes the F8 key doesn't do the "play and pause" function. I press it and it doesn't work, I have to restart the computer to make it work. The rest of the F keys work without any problem.

The funny thing is that I have tried to assign another function to the F8 key and it works without problems those times when the "play and pause" does not work.

I have a Macbook 14 with the latest version of OSMac installed.

Thanks

I have just left my mac on standby overnight and when I start it up, the F8 key no longer works.

If I restart it, it does.

its a bug caused by whatsapp
I have just left the computer idle for more than 10 hours with whatsapp closed and it works without any problem....

I'm going to do a test with WhatsApp open leaving it on standby.

Out of curiosity, how did you find the bug?

Thanks!
