Since the last update I've noticed my remote keeps loosing focus in theater view. So much that I have stop using because impossible to navigate. Nothing changed on computer was working fine before.
Windows 7 64
Latest MC Build 19.0.96

I use a Harmony One and yes made sure batteries were charged up. I did try a Microsoft MC remote with same effects.

Did you try a reboot or reinstall?
Did you try reinstalling the build that did work?

OK went back to 19.0.91 and remote works perfectly.
So it's not a fix for 19.0.96 but works and somewhere in between something happened.
Thank you for help so far. ;)

It would be good to see if going back to the current build "breaks" it again (which tells us it wasn't just something messed up with your original install of build 96). Also... Other applications (things set to run automatically) can sometimes steal focus, so make sure you don't have anything running (even hidden) that might be launching new processes or other things like that on a periodic basis. I've seen it with scripts I've written, photo processing, backup and sync tools, video transcoding applications, and other similar things.
The best bet, for testing, is to make sure the computer isn't doing other background tasks of any kind (kill everything in the tray, pause all tasks in Task Scheduler that you may have created, etc), and try to reproduce. If it doesn't happen then, slowly add stuff back one at a time till you find the culprit.
I haven't seen any focus issues with Theater View with current builds, for the record.

OK will try and report back.

Sorry for the trouble.
Does it matter what you're doing in Theater View? Could it be when thumbnails are being built? Is there any other program that's taking the focus?
I haven't seen this myself, so am hoping we might get a clue on the cause.
Thanks.

I uninstalled MC then reinstalled 19.0.96 and problem was still their. Went back to 19.0.91 and remote works.
Thumbnails are 100%.
Installed new build 19.0.100 and remote works. :D
Thank you for the help.

I can't explain that at all, but assuming it stays fixed, I'll walk quietly away ;)
