Caps-lock = disabling drilling into macros ridiculous!Anyone else get really spun out sometimes when you have capslock on and you can't drill down into a macro. Honestly its briefly got me a few times during my qc years but tonight (after a few beers) i totally forgot about it, it ended up with me swearing my heart out at the Apple God's even a few words aimed @ kineme when i though it was a plugin problem(soz guys love you really). A ridiculous feature i say! any one else?

What's a ridiculous feature... caps lock? ;o)
ha...no, not caps-lock in the sense of CAPS. try turning on caps-lock and then double clicking (opening/drilling down) on a macro. YOU CAN"T !!
ha re-read your comment *me thinks you may have been joshing with me there squire. oh well if not, i've explain
I've never seen that nor ever heard anyone mention it but now that you mention it I can reproduce the problem. Yeah, that's pretty annoying :)) Can you please write a bug at http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/?
This is very interesting. I haven't noticed the problem before either but I can make it happen now. Often I use command+down arrow to enter a macro patch and that seems to still work regardless of the caps lock state.
Evening/morning Troy, thanks for the confirming its a bug, i just always thought there was a reason for it. will get on the bug report in the morning
asides for that love the work you've done with qc4, its a joy to work with it!
i'm pretty sure its been around since tigar. Thanks for the command+down arrow key shortcut i didn't know about that
I'm going to apologize in advance, because I can see how it could be an improvement to some, but any chance of a mode to make the patches look traditional? The new gui is fairly big change.
I've almost always used cmd-down -- when I double click, I often hit the title (and end up renaming the patch) or hitting a noodle (disconnecting it if it's an input). I never noticed this bug till you mentioned it, but I can reproduce it too -- pretty cool! :)
Please don't just post bugs here -- bugreporter.apple.com is definitely better (as it gets the QC team involved). I also recommend duplicating the information on http://openradar.appspot.com/ and posting a link here so interested parties can follow the progress (saves on duplicated bugs/helps people waiting to see if something is fixed, etc).
That said, I've also heard apple uses bug-duplication numbers to gauge "severity", so perhaps having everyone file dupes helps? no idea there...
I asked about this a while back on the qc-dev-list and cwright mentioned that low fps can lockout the mouse event. I then found it happens even with the player window off. Nobody on the list seemed to know about Caps-Lock feature so very perceptive is the vj! Not an issue now i know.
