Grum Report post Posted March 8, 2005 When changing from windowed to full screen mode using Alt+Enter, if you press a key before the mode change is done, the Alt modifier is kept. The only way to get rid of it is pressing Alt again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kirianthis Report post Posted March 8, 2005 This also happens when you use Alt Tab to switch between windows sometimes. If you fiind that typing something like "How come my keys aren't working" ends up looking like "w cme my key ren't rkng" do as Grum suggested and press Alt once. That should fix the problem and allow the normal key input to be received. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placid Report post Posted March 8, 2005 (edited) Ooooh, i'm glad im not the only one getting this. I use alt-tab a lot, and its very frustrating. I thought it could be my drivers etc.... Alt+Tab: Alt sticks, so when typing x in #gm, local or channel and then enter; EL quits (uses in-built EL Alt+X shortcut). "-------": Alt sticks, when typing 'o', and then enter; EL shows the local chat bubbles You get the idea... Edited March 8, 2005 by Placid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
70347 Report post Posted March 8, 2005 I had a problem like this where the ctrl key stuck and I kept opening windows when I was trying to type. I'm not sure if it is related to this problem or how I caused it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grum Report post Posted March 8, 2005 Pffft, tried to figure out what was going on, but no luck. Looks like a bug in SDL to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sadez & Grum; I remember another post about this and the same conclusion (SDL bug, not EL). Thats why I havent posted this before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
