Keyboard not working in XML Editor for Flare 9

Post by mafaulkner »

This makes NO sense to me:
I upgraded to Flare 9.1 yesterday. I can type in the XML Editor, but I can't delete or backspace, and the keyboard shortcuts--like CTRL+B for Bold--don't work. Delete and backspace work correctly in the Text Editor, but of course keyboard shortcuts don't work there anyway.

Any clues?

There is a known related to the .NET 4.5 Framework. See if the workaround mentioned here helps --> http://forums.madcapsoftware.com/viewto ... 683#p89589

It is a massive bug in .NET 4.5 and other applications are suffering as well. This is what happens when cramming in features wins over delivering quality.

This has been resolved in the 9.1.1 update.
Please download this version of Flare to get this fixed.

I'm using the 9.1.2 update and having this exact problem. It just started out of the blue. I rebooted the PC, tried opening other topic files - I even tried another keyboard. All with no joy.

UPDATE: Okay, so I saved everything, built the project and published. Now the issue has gone away and I my keyboard input is being accepted.
