While I do not want to suggest that my result is the same as anyone elses, I think that in my case it may not be a problem with Minecraft but instead an interacting with other apps on the Mac. The other day this started happening again. After restarting the game a few times, I decided to see if there was another app that was causing the problem. I couldn't find anything right away, so instead I shut down all the other apps running on my Mac. Sure enough after that the problem started happening. I'm wondering, if in my case, there might be another app that is quickly stealing focus in some way.

Anyway, I suggest that others try what I have when they see this issue. Perhaps it'll help them as well.

BTW, after I did this, I later started up all my usual programs and I didn't have anymore issues.

I have not tried the latest launcher as I tend to wait for the full releases before upgrading.

In 1.5.1 I had this problem occasionally after first starting the game. It would usually not happen again during that session once I tabbed out and back in.

Now with 1.5.2 it's happening consistently. If I tab out, then tab back in it works for a second, then locks up again.

I've found that if I tap the keys for very short periods it will work, but once I hold a key down (like W) it won't let me press anymore keys. Once I release W, it won't even let me use the W again.

Thanks, sorry for the mixup!
