NumLock bug Beta 2

My native language is Spanish so I tend to use special characters like:  ¿ á é í ó ú ¡


If my keyboard has NumLock enabled and I press ALT + any number in the Numpad,  Resolve focus the typing field to the timeline timecode.

That behavior wasn't happening to me before.

If I try to type for example ALT+0191 I can't because the typing jumps straight to the timecode.

I have Resolve 18 in another machine and no issues.

My keyboard shortcuts are exactly the same on each machine.

Even in the deliver page if I try to name my file with special characters the typing field jumps to the timecode.


Hope this bug is fixed in the next update.

I'm seeing the same in Studio 19b2 for Windows.

Can't enter any Alt+ characters in either Text or Text+.

I use Alt+0176 (degree's symbol) for testing.

In v19 I believe they addressed a long standing flaw and frequent complaint in Resolve being that it required a special keypress before one could navigate by timecode using teh numpad keys (a standard capability on most every other NLE). It might be that the issue you are now seeing in v19 is a by-product of that fix.

It might be, but it shouldn't be.

When a text box is active, all entries should be considered as text entries. (It worked this way before BMD muffed timecode entry a while back.)

Exactly, that's how's supposed to be working. If a text field it's active all values should go there.

You’d think that’s how it’d work. That all characters would go to the text field.
But it doesn’t and hasn’t as long as I’ve used Resolve.

Try typing Shift + Left Arrow. Should be sent to the text field where it would select the previous character. But instead it moves the playhead backwards by multiple frames.

This Alt scenario is worse than before but the basic issue has been there - by design I suspect - for many years.

I updated to 19 b3, and the problem I mentioned before was fixed.

I typed Shift + Left Arrow and it stayed on the Text Field and selected the previous character. Nothing triggered the focus on the timeline.

Btw I'm on PC and have NumLock enabled.

They fixed it? Awesome! Thanks for the update!

I'm still seeing the playhead move when I type Alt+0176 into a Text title. No degree symbol in sight.
For a Text+ title, nothing happens. It's like Resolve isn't getting the keyboard entries at all.

Studio 19b3 for Windows.

Hi Jim! That's weird, I managed to type it without any problems on beta 3 on Windows.

Did you ensure you have NumLock Enabled on your keyboard?

I did. As soon as I hit the 0, the Text Box loses highlight and the Timeline box gets it.

So I tried turning NumLock off...and it worked.

Weird!
