8.05 Live window loses focus to plugin - Touching controls on a plugin makes Live lose focus to the plugin and the space bar no longer functions for start/stop until you touch the Live window to reestablish focus.

On a mac g5, os 10.4.11

This was fixed in Live 8.04 and now the bug is back in 8.05.

Easily reproducible.

Hi koranek,

can you tell me, which plugin you are using and if its an up to date version?

thanks and regards

Henrik

I'm using the new beta version (1.1.0.0017) of Native Instruments Maschine, but I don't think that's it. When I try this beta version of Maschine in 8.04 it works as expected.

The current version 8.05 is acting like previous versions of Live 8.

In both 8.04 and 8.05, touching controls on the Maschine plug cause the window focus to switch from Live to the plug as evidenced by which window bar is highlighted.

In 8.04, when Live loses focus, the space bar still works to start and stop Live. In 8.05, when Live window loses focus, the space bar no longer starts and stops Live until you touch the Live window to restore focus (this bug is how it worked in versions before 8.04).

Hope this helps - John K

And now 8.05 is working as expected.

So this appears to be intermittent. When I'm testing this, I'm only running Live and Maschine. Weird.

For the most part it does not seem to work in 8.05 and I don't know why it worked that one time.

However, it is working in 8.08B1.
