ALT+key shortcuts are not available in 17.2 also on the latest 007 HotFix.

GP studio
GP studio over 9 years ago

On the Hotfix_SPB17.20.005_README_CCR.txt file, you can read the following text: "1588769 ALLEGRO_EDITOR UI_GENERAL       ALT+key shortcuts are not available in 17.2".

BUT this problem are NOT FIXED ! NOT fixed also on the next HotFix releases 006 and 007 !

Need to press at least 2 time the ALT key and WAIT some time, for enabling "FILE" anf others menu, but the sub menus features not responding as required ! There is a very big problem to use shortcuts, and for activate menus ! In the 16.6 release ALT+key there is NOT a problem.

A workaround or solution are very welcome. If you have please share it !

Thanks, Gianni.

    In the latest OrCAD (17.2) HotFix 016 very good work for fixes and new features.

    One of these fixes are: "1603776 ALLEGRO_EDITOR     UI_GENERAL    Alt key not working".

    But unfortunately it has not yet been fixed ! :’( (cryng)

    I have tested the HotFix 016 on 2 different computers with Windows 7 and Windows 8, unfortunately still does not work.

    Please ....

    Gianni.
