Keyboard flashing as I type?

Anyone else have their keyboard light turn off and on while typing? Is there a fix?

edit:
Turns out there is a fix. Thanks Dragon! (post 5)

Happen to me about to weeks ago. Now they light just stop working at all. If I press down hard on the space bar the whole board lights up.

I was thinking the same, since it doesn't always happen. I can't say for sure, but it seems like most of the time I notice it is when I'm in an area of light that's kind of iffy for the sensor, and it could go either way as to whether it needs to light up or not, so that would make sense, as that extra bit of darkness may be messing with it.

It is definitely the light sensor...they all do it in certain lighting conditions. Try it in a dark room. The light will stay on!

How much do you use the keyboard normally, and have you noticed much of a change in battery life this way? I'm a pretty heavy texter most of the time and throughout the day, so hadn't tried this yet thinking it may eat up more time on the battery.
