Interesting, Tim. I'm puzzled why it should happen as I'm logging in having previously shut down my mac. It would not have been asleep. The same thing happens on my late 2010 MacbookAir. I'm quite spooked by this, and I wonder whether I should perform clean installation of Sierra. That's a lot of work for possibly no gain. It's curious that the vo+shift+spacebar click should remedy things. I asked a sighted person to watch the screen. I was told, that when I start my computer, the log in screen appears but the fields where I would normally put in my name or password are not highlighted. Something prevents this from happening.
