I’m not sure if this is an issue with my computer or a bug with Rhino 8 but I’m curious if anyone else has experienced it. Everytime I save a particular file, after the save has completed, I can no longer use my mouse or my keyboard as normal. Everything seems to behave as if the CTRL key is being held down, even though it’s not: the right mouse button will only zoom in and out, hovering over toolbar items shows “Copy Link” text, I can no longer select objects, and typing executes shortcuts instead of typing commands (for example, typing an S in the command line will initiate another save). The really weird thing is that this behavior even extends to other applications, not just rhino. My whole computer behaves as if I am holding down control constantly. The only way I’ve found to get out of it (besides restarting my computer) is to undo the last command. So I can work around it by doing CTRL+Z and then CTRL+Y after every save, but it its still pretty annoying. I’ve attached a quick loom to show what happens:
pls run _SystemInfo in Rhino and post back the results.
Does the same happen if you type _Save (enter)?
Did you try another keyboard?
Here is the result of _SystemInfo:

Strangely it doesn’t happen when I type _Save, only with CTRL+S. I haven’t had a chance to try it with another keyboard but I will try that tomorrow and let you know.
@Gijs Update: I don’t have another keyboard handy to test it, however I tried with the windows on-screen keyboard and got the same result, so it doesn’t seem to be an issue with my keyboard
Ok, disabling and re-enabling PowerToys (which I was using to re-map some keys on my keyboard) seems to have fixed the issue, so I guess it was unrelated to Rhino
