2266 - DANGER! .. the Delete key is a hotkey in this new version?

Post by Barry4679 »

Steps:
  • MM5 is open, but the application is not my active window
  • have some other application open and active ... eg Notepad
  • press the Delete key in this other application
  • MM5 offers to delete all selected tracks ... database entry, plus the physical tracks! ... If I bump the enter key I have lost my tracks?!
Is this happening due to a local issue on PC? ... I did test MM5 hotkey facilities using this release ... but my settings appear to be OK

The problem dbox mention local, and remote. track versions. ... I did sync my MM & GM libraries, but I am currently logged out of GPM.

Want a dark skin for MM5? This is the one that works best for me .. elegant, compact & clear.

Probably.

I rebooted PC, and the issue has gone now.
I've been able to replicate a variant of this issue documented with log at 0016130. The key in that case was:
1) MM must be obscured by another app
2) MM must be playing music
3) User must type the SPACEBAR in the app that is obscuring MM at the time that playback transitions from one track to another.
In my case there was no music running ... although I had tried playing a video file with MM for the first time earlier in the day, and I had trouble stopping it ... so maybe "something" was playing
There would have been so transitions, because it was a single video file.

MM5 was obscured by another app.

I didn't try other keys. I noticed it with the Delete key. Luckily MM displays a confirmation message before auctioning a deletion request.
I think that the active application was the Gmail client inside the Windows browser ... I started up Notepad, and the leakage to MM5 continued.

It is the 1st time that I have noticed the problem.

If it ever re-occurs, try to capture it in a debug log. Even if you start capturing after it starts it may offer up clues as to why this is happening.
