Today Xojo 2019r3.2 on macOS 10.15.5 has started to show some weird behavior. In that the code editor simply ignores all input.
I can get it to come back sometimes by closing the tab I am working on, and re-opening it. Not always.
Sometimes I can only input code by restarting Xojo. Running the project, and it goes back to limp mode.
Sometimes I have to restart my Mac, then it comes back and I simply cannot enter any code any more.
Even showing the keyboard viewer and clicking on the keys doesn’t make it work.
I have this sometimes in HighSierra, too. Safari also likes to go to “limp mode”. Usually, quitting and restarting the app fixes the problem temporarily. Try to delete the Finder preferences and force-quit Finder immediately afterwards.
I have just downloaded a fresh copy of Xojo 2019r3.2 and the same problem still occurs.
I also notice that there’s a bunch of the following messages logged.
12:02:36.767 Df **Xojo** [1148:614a] (IDEUtils.dylib) ignoring key bindings due to unknown OS version 12:02:36.769 Df **Xojo** [1148:614a] (IDEUtils.dylib) ignoring key bindings due to unknown OS version
I have this too sometimes, it seems to do with the project size, time and related to sleep/hibernate the system. Reproduction is not simple it just happens.
I seem to remember having this issue when I used external objects as well. Once I moved to the plain text format and started keeping shared files in a common location with their own GIT repos, I guess it stopped. Haven’t thought about it in a long time.
