Title: Focus problem in recent betas… just me?
Post by: mesue on July 14, 2006, 09:26:53 pm: Hi,

I recently updated from 11.1.148, to 11.1.186 and then 11.1.188 soon after and I've been having a problem in these last two versions where MC doesn't seem to get focused properly.

For instance, I'll be going along working in MC and I'll hit Ctrl-A for select all, and my computer selects everything in my web browser (or whatever window I was working in before MC). Also a lot of times the context menus will not pop up unless I click on a blank area of the desktop and then click back to MC. The same thing happens within input boxes or text fields... at times they will not accept any typing unless I click on a blank area of the desktop first.

Another thing that might be related… if I have a bunch of open, overlapping windows and MC is maximized but not topmost, normally you should be able to click anywhere on a visible part of the MC window to bring it to the top. This doesn't work — ever. The only way I can make MC top-most is to click its taskbar icon.

Is anyone else experiencing this, or is it just me?

I use NetRemote… could that have anything to do with it?

Post by: mesue on July 15, 2006, 10:01:22 am: I use Netremote on a Pocket PC, so for me it is just Media Bridge running on the PC side, but it does sound like there is a connection to this problem. So who do we report it to... J River or Promixis?

Post by: Myron on July 21, 2006, 07:45:47 pm: I'm also seeing some focus wierdness if the Netremote Mediabridge starts MC.

If I start MC first and then run Mediabridge, MC will not terminate completely when the app is closed.

Anyone at J River know anything about this?

It sounds like you're having an issue with Netremote.

Thanks, you could be right.

I was hoping to hear something from from J River, since these problems didn't exist with MC 11.0. I forgot to mention this in my post.

So something's changed between MC 11.0 and 11.1 - Which end is causing the problem is still unknown.

Ah. I just assumed that it was still in beta since I never saw a final release announcement in the forum. Anyway, the problem didn't appear until I went from 11.1.148 to 11.1.186.
