Capture 16.6: Can't close properties spreadsheet using keyboard under Win7

Allan M

Hello folks,

I recently was forced to upgrade to Windoze 7 and consequently had to re-install OrCAD PCB Designer 16.6.  My problem is that, in Capture, I can no longer use the keyboard to close the property spreadsheet; the only ways I am able to close the properties spreadsheet are either by clicking on the X at the top right (and, if I am not careful, closing the whole application!) or by right-clicking on the tab and selecting close in the context menu.  I used to be able to use CTRL-F4 to do that but it does not work any more.  CTRL-F4 does work to close a schematic tab in a design though but it does not work with the property spreadsheet.  This is just an annoying nuisance.

 Does anybody know what I can do to restore the keyboard shortcut for closing the property spreadsheet?  I cannot find the solution anywhere.

 Thanks in advance.

     CTRL+F4 seems to work fine for me to close any tab, maybe you need an update installed?
