Re: RDi 9.5 --> Keys stop working..

Ken,

I'm sure this has got to be frustrating. When the keys aren't responding,
do you know which view is "active" or "has the focus"?

I can't guarantee this is your issue, but it's worth a shot. I've had
times where the wrong view (most frequently, the Monitors view) had focus
and the keyboard appeared unresponsive. If I clicked into the Editor view
(or perhaps the Debug view), the keys were again functional.

The only other time I've ever had the Run, Step Over, Step Into, etc. keys
stop working is when I have an interactive program waiting on input in the
job being debugged. I've rarely had to restart RDi to get things
responsive.

As far as years and years of restarting software, have you ever heard of a
product called Windows. For many more than 9 years, the standard fix was
reboot. (It still is in a lot of cases.)

[WDSCI-L] RDi 9.5 --> Keys stop working..

Hi,

I am using RDi 9.5.01. with test patch (2015-10-27) once again my
KEYS STOP WORKING!!!

Brand New Laptop, installed RDI 9.5 on Nov 4, 2015. And then
installed the test patch.

Once again Key-board keys DO NOT WORK!!!

None of the keys for debug work!!! Using the menu: > run>Step-Over,
but the KEY DOES NOT WORK!!! AGAIN!!!!

Other keys combination do NOT work either....

I have a plug-in USB keyboard, the keys work fine. They just do NOT
work inside of RDI 9.5....

Is this "TOO MUCH" to ask that the Keyboard works???

Of course no messages in the "error" view, because they do NOT

REGISTER!!!

GUESS WHAT FIXES IT????????????? Yup, "RESTART" RDI!!!

I guess after using RDI for over 9-years, I should EXPECT THIS...
"Restart-Software"... <Big Frown>

PS. Since I CANNOT duplicate it, so I cannot report it, nor open a PMR.
