Okay, I ranting because this just happened to me two times in a row. I hate it when ArchiCAD won't register my command keystrokes. I wanted to move a selection set so I hit CTRL+D, then selected the first point and it threw out the selection set -- I wasn't in the command. So I paid slightly close attention and it did it again. It wasn't until I hit CTRL+D five consecutive times (I was upset) that it finally worked.
I have noticed this problem a lot over the last few months. I thought it was just me, but other users around here are having the same problem.
'num lock' locks out the rest of the keyboard whilst allowing only the embedded number keys. i hit it on all the time by accident when using keyboard shortcuts - my letter keys then go AWOL until i realise what's happened (which is pretty quickly now )
sorry for the confusion . . .
