We have a customer with a vertical market app. About 10% of their users that are running Yosemite experience a problem where they suddenly can no longer type in textfields. It takes about an hour of using the app before the problem appears and restarting the app solves the problem. It’s a carbon app. They are working hard to move it to Cocoa but that’s for their next big release.
If anyone is experiencing this issue, please let me know as I’m hoping to help this customer out with some kind of workaround for the time being. FWIW, this may not be a Xojo bug at all. It could be a bug with Carbon apps on Yosemite. But determining even that would be useful.
@Benoit Griveau Can you reliably reproduce this bug? Can you reproduce it in a small project? Either of these would be very helpful in terms of fixing it.
My experience is slightly different. I have an application that when you launch it and click on any text fields or text areas, no text insertion cursor is displayed, nothing at all actually, nothing blinking, it looks like blocked. If you already have text in the field and click anywhere, you never know where the insertion point is until you actually type something. Now, as soon as you open a dialog above the window and close it, everything gets fixed, your see the insertion point correctly blinking in all text fields and text areas, even if you create a new document. Opening that dialog is what the application needs since everything work until you relaunch. This problem starts with Yosemite. I tried different versions of my app built with RB and Xojo. Same result. Hope that helps!
