I've had this a couple of times recently, still happens in 9.0.3w so thought I'd better mention it:

Occasionally I can't edit the amounts in Integer data elements, i click on the field but the edit cursor doesn't appear.

Generally I find closing the schematic and re-opening fixes things.

Hi GaryG,

Does your schematic contain any Drag Acumulate components? I think the problem is related to these.

Thanks

When the bug occured ealier, it was a knob schematic with a Y Drag Acc. I was working on...

Could be it.

Cheers, Gary.

Ok, that sounds about right then. next time it happens, instead of closing SynthMaker just try moving the knob.

Are you doing anything special with the knob? Any chance you could sent me the schematic? It would help try to identify why the locking occurs. Email is malc at and then our domain name.

Thanks.

Sorry Malc, everything's behaving itself today (typical... 🙂)

I was just messing with the Ableton Knob schematic someone posted, getting my head around the various graphic concepts. I wasn't trying anything new or inventive.

If it does lock again I'll be sure to send you the schematic.

I think I've found what could be causing the problem. Double click on a knob then try and click on a data component. This shows the problem every time for me. Having looked at the code I can now see why. I've tidied things up so it should be much better in the next release.

Thanks

Ok, happens everytime for me now as well...

I must have been moving the knob before trying to edit or something.

Glad you found the problem.
