Since the pandemic hit I have been trying to use Fusion Studio remotely using Google Chrome Remote Desktop.
Mostly it is ok, but I have noticed that after awhile (leaving Fusion operating, then changing browser tabs away from the remote desktop then going back again) various buttons, keys and menu items stop responding and the console starts to fill up with
"[string "???"]:1: attempt to index global 'target' (a nil value)"
For example the frame forward shortcut "]" will stop responding consistently.
Trying to cycle through the colour channels using the R G B keys will fail.
Trying to scroll on the timeline will fail.
Even Menu commands like "File/Save" can be activated but will fail to actually do anything ( and the dreaded "[string "???"]:1: attempt to index global 'target' (a nil value)" appears in the console.
Is this a known problem? Anyone else have similar experiences?
Is there an easy solution or is it a very specific bug?
When I reported it as an official bug I was told: "We do not support or test our software using remote methods such as this, so we wouldn't be able to troubleshoot it."
It doesn't seem to affect other programs I am using remotely including Davinci Resolve.
I realize that Google Chrome Remote Desktop may not be the best solution, but it is free and every other DCC software I use on it seems unaffected.
Using version 18.0.1 Fusion Studio but has been an issue with older v17 builds too.
Windows 11 (Intel 6core/64GB/Nvidia1070) on local machine/ Windows 10 (AMD32core/128GB/Nvidia3900) on remote machine. Latest drivers on both machines.
