billgrey Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Hi guys, I'm having an ongoing problem with Affinity Designer and some other programs. The conflict seems to knock out the keyboard. Mouse still works... but the USB keyboard freezes. I can move the cursor into position with the mouse... but no typing can be done. Has anyone else experienced this. I'm using Affinity Designer 1.4 on Yosemite... but this was also happening at times on 1.3. Any suggestions?

Staff MEB Posted December 15, 2015 Staff Share Posted December 15, 2015 Hi Bill, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Are you running any third party menu utilities like clipboard managers etc? Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avo Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Have the same thing, i found that it happens when i'm exporting a bunch of images and after i chose the export destination i cant use keyboard anywhere. I found that if i click AD icon i get some kind of Finder window, which i have to close and then keyboard start to work everywhere. My OS is Yosemite and AD is 1.4 Cant provide any screenshots right now cause i'm away. If i'll find some time tonight - i'll try to make screenshots.

billgrey Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 No MEB, nothing but the default system in that respect. But the minute I start AD, I start having keyboard problems with whatever other programs are running concurrently. Bothersome, to be sure... especially because one is often cutting and pasting text from other programs. Wish I could work this out.

Staff MattP Posted December 17, 2015 Staff Share Posted December 17, 2015 Can I ask if the beta version fixes this problem for you? Here's the links: Affinity Designer Beta, Affinity Photo Beta Thanks! Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob R. Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Same issue with keyboard locking up with AP 1.4. No issues with the Beta, no issue with the purchased 1.3 version, but immediately had issues with 1.4. As soon as AP is closed, issue goes away.
