Space bar(Start/Stop) event not recognized

Posted

When pressing the play button with the mouse and then pressing the space bar to stop playback does nothing.

If a text field or other widget gets input focus, the spacebar would put a space character into that field (or open a menu, etc) and not start the transport.

Can you tell the exact order of clicks and in which window, so we can reproduce it? Thanks.

Windows 10:  Just click the play button with the mouse and then press the space bar  (no other clicks or key presses in between)

There's a new update online now that mitigates the side effect of entering text in a field and subsequently running the transport. When the Play button is pressed now, input focus is taken away from any input widget that might still have it. This will make the spacebar responsive to pause/stop/play in a lot more situations where it previously was not.
