    It happened to me before. I tried troubling shooting it by creating another user account with admin control, and rebooted my system and login-in with the new account. If the problem disappears chances are theres an application that is causing your problem.

    perhaps a keyboard language setting?

    Go into System Preferences > Language & Text > Input Sources. Make sure only U.S. is checked.

    Go to System Preferences -> Language & Text -> Input Sources. Confirm that only "Keyboard & Character Viewer" and "U.S." are checked.

    My wifes MBA had a similar issue. Turned out to be a hardware problem, Apple replaced the entire top case under warranty.

    In addition to the trouble shooting suggestions above try booting into safe mode (hold shift when turning on the Mac)
