FAYT : Close timeout failed & strange behavior

I don't know why but close time out failed. FAYT never closes.
Cursor position blink 5s then stop.
And you ?

Also, when I use quick key then exit FAYT, using another quick key display the first one in field.
Look...


(square symbol is the escape key)

It doesn't auto-close in all modes. Some leave it open so you can e.g. modify the selection criteria without worrying about it closing while you're still thinking.

That's a "feature" of Windows 10 and above, affecting pretty much all text input controls. There's a registry setting to change it.

Which modes auto close? Because no mode closes here.

OK

  • Using a quick key, then escaping the FAYT field, and using a quick key again (same or different) does not clear the previously used quick key, it adds to it.

  • Escaping the FAYT field twice inserts a square character into the field.

Thanks, that's been fixed for the next beta.
