Sometimes when I start a game the hotkeys wont work I can still click but when I got to make a worker it doesn't register. It fixes itself after I hit alt or cntrl or windows key but It's an inconvenience and im wondering why it would do this. Only happens in SC2.

Edit: It isn't my keyboard btw it has happen with 3 of them and 1 was brand new.

I'm guessing your problem is that you play in Windowed Mode and you alt tab back and forth frequently between SC2 and desktop. It's just a bug that Blizzard has yet to fix.

I have this issue as well and also play in Windowed Full Screen and do Alt+Tab. What would constitute "frequently"?

What, exactly, is the bug and have they even acknowledged it, or does it need to be written up for them?

your computer probably uses alt to change between languages. my keyboard uses alt to change between korean and english, and it happens to me sometimes.
