I just installed the update. Didn't even require a restart. It says in Software Update that it will automatically open the updater, but for me it did not and I had to go to the utilities folder and open it manually. I posted what the updater screen looks like below. No problems so far with the update. Too soon to tell if the keystroke issue is actually fixed though.

Hello,
I've downloaded the update for my MacBook and all I can say is "wow!", the update fixed the keystroke issue as well as the issue with using my external display with the lid down. So I 'm currently really happy.
cheers,
mp :)

It really does make a difference. I can now write emails without having to keep going back to fill in the first letter.
