ESCAPE "ESC" KEY NOT WORKING IN AC 20

[toofuerte]

We recently started using the AC 20 and the esc key is not working to deselect or cancel actions. In other threads they talk about Photoshop or other program causing issues, or restart computer or just AC. However AC 19 works fine. The problem is intermittent every once and a while it does work.

I just tested this. Sadly, no, it does not do anything.

Well, it forces certain actions to orthos by pushing shift, but continues to ignore the escape key.

Hi Guys,

i have the same problem.
I paste my post open today morning here:

pasted post:

"
We have a problem with the Esc. Fct. with the teamwork project in Archicad 20.
When i start using a function like translation or another, is it impossible to use Esc key for cancelling function.
The only possibility is right click -> cancel.

The most strange in this story is that i have realised some test.

xxx.pln -> the ECHAP function work correclty
xxx.pln sharing in bim server -> don't work correclty
bim server extract projet to place xxx.pln on desktop -> work correclty again

few test later, i'm sure that the problem is when the project is shared in the bim server. Hope GRAPHISOFT will make a patch for this problem.


the Esc function doesn't work only when a fct is launched.
so

if i select a line fort exemple.
I use ESC -> unselect so it's ok.

if i select a line, i launch the translation. but "oh finaly i don't want to do it" Wink
Esc don't work

Tips: when i'm in a translation for example, Esc. is not working fort cancelling my function, i do a zoom in or zoom out and Esc is useable again.
SOOOOOO STRAAANNNNGE....

I'm working in a group of 11 person and all of them have the same problem. (only with AC20 - AC19 no problem)

Is anyone else having a problem with the ESC key not working as intended? I have ALWAYS used my ESC key to get out of a command & deselect an object.

Lately if I have an object selected and I have NOT started a command, it will deselect as expected, BUT if I am in a command and try to cancel out of it/deselect the object, nothing happens.

Just wondering if it's just me...

It's a bug

Lovely. I hope this is fixed before I get used to the work around.

I have just read in another forum that it seems to be a bug.
Seems to do with undocked palettes that have an active teamwork panel in them.

Solution is to try docking or closing the palettes of possibly just closing the teamwork panel in the palette.

Apparently the Favorites and Profile Manager palettes seem to be the main problems.

So I have discovered the same problem and it only happens when i have bluebeam open simultaneously.

I can confirm that having the Profiles palette open is causing the bug to appear.
Teamwork environment on W7.

Suffering through this the last couple of days wondering what was randomly going on until I found this thread. Closing the profile manager fixed this on my Teamwork project in 20 / Win7 project.

I think this sort of bug is INSANE that the developers have not fixed it since it was reported in July, over 3 months ago. These usability bugs should have TOP PRIORITY imho and fixed within ONE WEEK.

Frequent updates = good. Fixed issues waiting months until a roll-up of fixes is ready = bad.
