Tools won't hold?

Post by Elektroakoustika »

Hi everyone,

I don't know how, but my editing tools won't hold when I hold their corresponding key down. IE - If I hold down the C key, the cursor stays on whatever tool I had last selected and does not switch to the Cut Tool. If I double tap that key, it does go to "sticky" mode. But holding down the key does nothing!

I just recently updated to 9.13 so I'm wondering if something got changed in settings somewhere?

How do I fix this?

Thanks!

It works fine here using the latest DP update. Do you have some kind of keyboard utility that intercepts key presses running?

...!
How recent? A new release of 9.13 with a bug fix was released three days ago. If older, download and reinstall.
