Copy loses focus

Post by AndrewKember »

When Textpad has been open for a long time, it sometimes exhibits this odd behaviour: When I select text then copy it (using the ctrl-c shortcut) Textpad loses focus, so my resulting keystrokes are lost until I click on Textpad, or alt-tab back to it. It consistantly does this until I restart Textpad.

While it's pretty irritating, it's very easy to work around but I thought I'd mention it to see if anyone else has seen this.

Cheers,
Andrew.

Hi,

I had the same problem but I think I might have solved it.

Simply disable transparent window dialogs:

Configure >> Preferences >> View

Then remove the "check" in front of Transparent dialog boxes.
