File dialogs (Save As, Open, etc) with kb shortcuts - boredom - 01-30-2013

This has started happening to me ever since I used the 1.5.x development branches of Wings3D.

Whenever I use a shortcut which requires a file dialog (e.g. ctrl+shift+S to 'save as'), it continues to pop up again forever after I press OK or Cancel.

I speculate that Wings3D fails to disengage the keyboard state and thinks ctrl+shift+S is still being pressed, and thus it keeps bringing up the dialogue.

Using the mouse to select Save As in the menu bypasses this issue altogether.


edit: Forgot to mention that this is on Win7 64-bit.

Yes, I was able to get this problem and it was present also in wings3d_1.4.1.36.g53af2.

It just pop-up only if your mouse pointer is still over the Geom window. In this case, just move it out of the Wings window, hit Save or Cancel and access any other Windows application opened (change the focused app) and then go back to Wings.

Moving the mouse out of the window worked. Smile What a simple solution. Thanks!

It was fixed in in the Wings3d 1.5.2 - development release. Check it here.
