Tabbing away and back on Mac OS X causes interface to stop responding

Hi there,

Using QLC+ on a show right now and was finally successful in narrowing down a somewhat random behavior.

It seems that when I tab away from QLC+ and then tab back, I'm not able to trigger anything in the interface. This is specifically happening to a matrix of buttons.

Still testing, but it might be remedied by placing the two programs I'm tabbing between in separate tabs. Not 100% certain of that, though.

Has anyone else seen this behavior?

Thank you!

Is the problem of taking no inputs only apparent on keyboard or also if you click with the mouse or trigger something via midi?

Presently, I've only tested with the keyboard. I'm going to setup some keyboard shortcuts and see if that makes a difference.

It can take some futzing to recreate the issue, though.

Ah so that makes sense because I am experiencing this with Windows too.

For me a click with the mouse somewhere in the Virtual console (literally in the console, not on the window!) fixes the issue. Does this work for you too?

Yes, I have seen this too. The upside is that this can generally be fixed by repeating the process (tabbing away and back in).
