Can't exit typing using Escape

[shushustorm]

Hey everyone!

When typing the opacity value of a color within the color picker, then Enter, the typing cursor will still be there. Trying to stop typing by Escape quits full screen instead.

I am using Designer 1.10.4, which may not be the most current version. I am rarely updating in order to keep workflow stability.
I searched for "exit typing escape" and didn't find this issue.
Best wishes,
Shu

Hi Shushtorm,

Does pressing Tab cancel out of the Opacity text field?

Thanks

This is one of my pet peeves, I too can rarely escape out of a number field by using the escape key. Have to use a mouse click. Frequently the tab key will not take me to the next field but will enter the value and then escape out of the field. Extremely frustrating. It is a bug, it is in many of the other panels as well. I too have filed reports about this, I too have comment like this with other peoples reports. The developers just don't understand how the escape key is expected to be used. Escape = Escape.

Thanks for your replies!

No. The transparency value is still selected. I can only tab between H S L (or RGB, etc.) that are connected.
@Old Bruce
Exactly that. I need to select anything else just to deselect that field.
Strangely enough, when I set H S or L, pressing Return (Enter) will already result in the field being deselected.
