User Input Changed?

[Castleberg]

I'm rather confused. I had been using user Inputs with the selection method, default selection made.

In the past, the behavior was such that when the user input came up, the default selection was highlighted, with any keyboard inputs immediately changing the selection, while the [ENTER] Key would accept the selection. It was rather streamlined.

Recently, the exact same command brings up a dialogue boxed that, while it has the default selection selected, the "OK" box is actually selected.

Unfortunately, this means having to press the [ARROWU] (or alternatively tab around/back) to the selection field, where keyboard inputs can then affect the actual selection. This is far less convenient.

For now, I worked around the issue by calling another function just prior to the user input field that runs simultaneously (pausing a few moments, and then pressing up up arrow key). This effectively reverts the behavior for me, but is not an ideal solution.

Did I mess up a setting somewhere I am not aware of? I don't recall installing any updates, but the behavior is clearly different, and I can't figure out why...

Any thoughts?

On my machine, with v1.8.9 and v1.8.8, only the "Get User Input - Text" dialog has focus on the input field by default. All other dialogs have the initial focus on the "OK" button.

This behavior is unlikely to have changed in any recent updates to the release branch. Even if it had, the last update to that branch was released mid-2021


v1.9.9.85 on the beta branch, with the new GUI, does focus the input field for each dialog, on my machine.

Odd.  Ok, well I guess I will use my workaround for now, until I can figure out how to program my own input via inline function etc.

Suggestion for Gary :
The focus being on the input field, and not "OK" seems more applicable and convenient. We can always hit [ENTER] to select "OK" and don't really need it pre-selected (i.e. to hit spacebar). Just my 2 cents.

Cheers.

As mentioned, in future versions that is already the case. You can download the beta from the website, or choose the beta branch for Steam
