Bruce Kieffer Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 The selection tool's enable interactive scaling mode keeps turning itself off. Pressing the "U" key will turn it on and off, but I know I'm not accidentally pressing that key. I even went into the workspace editor and turned off that key modifier, but the random turning off of the "mode" continues. Are others noticing this problem? Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Hi Bruce, Yes I have seen this, but it is pretty rare. I generally just re-activate the mode and get on with it. If you (or anyone) can figure out the exact steps required to reproduce it with certainty then you should send it to bugsubmit :-) Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 Something causes it to happen. Today it happened every few minutes for a while, then it stopped. Otherwise, I agree it is rare. Quote Link to comment
CipesDesign Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Right, something must cause it. Can you re-trace your steps? Quote Link to comment
David Ormsby Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Stupid question, but is it possible your keyboard is old and/or needs a bit of cleaning? Quote Link to comment
David Ormsby Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Hopefully no offense taken - none implied... I've never had it happen and thought there might be bit of dust in the keys making it stick... Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 I will keep better track of my "steps" that might cause this to happen. Quote Link to comment

David, I have this happen on two new computers, both are very clean. I am my mother's son! [ 03-12-2006, 06:40 PM: Message edited by: Bruce Kieffer ] Quote Link to comment
ionw Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I run into this problem often. because I was an Adobe user before I was a VW user, my hand is trained to do a space-Apple to zoom. Usually about the third time I use this, the mode has changed. I change it back and soon it is back. I love the scroll wheel zoom and scroll button pan, but if there is anything this boards has taught those of us here for a while, old habits die hard.... I've tried to track it down, but because it is an almost instinctive move, if I am thinking about it, I use the scroll wheel instead....but I will keep track.... Quote Link to comment
Bruce Kieffer Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 I use the command+spacebar and command+option+spacebar for zooming as well. Maybe there's something there causing this problem. Quote Link to comment
bumpyceiling Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I haven't ever heard of "command+spacebar" for zooming, but I have the same problem with the interactive scaling tool turning itself off sporadically. I have been trying to figure out what causes it for weeks, but to me it seems completely random. It's annoying! I would say that it happens to me 50-100 times a day. Quote Link to comment
