The original question did refer to the bumps at the
sides of the keys - most responses have suggested that
the key leads are "walking" out - to me, that makes
sense, although I've never seen it before.  - How I'll
handle it--I don't know-- I'm sure I won't handle it
until it creates a friction problem.  Any other ideas
as to what may have caused the bumps?
