Option Dropdowns

For some reason, when I have the fill tool selected, and there is a dropdown of Flat fill, Linear, Circular, etc. there is an option to hit the virtual keyboard. I'm always accidentally hitting this thing when there isn't a reason for it to be there. Does anyone else experience this under the Fill tool and the Transparency tool?

Why would I need a virtual keyboard here?

Hi Sheff, What program are you using?

I have no idea what you are talking about. Xara doesn't include a virtual keyboard.
Perhaps you have a graphics tablet installed and have enabled the Windows 'On-screen' keyboard?

Hi Sheff could you give us a little more info? What version of Xara are you using? are you saying this shows up as an option in the dropdown list? Could you post a screenshot?

This report does actually make sense, the wrong sort of control is being used. I've added a BugZilla for this.

thanks Luke

I am on a Wacom Cintiq. I have tried to do a screen capture. But it won't capture the keyboard icon. The only way I can show the problem is by clicking it and then doing the screencap. So when I mean to hit flat fill, linear etc. I often get this accidental keyboard by mistake and have to close it.

The actuator button that appears disappears almost immediately and isn't seen when I do a screencap.

It's like Xara is giving you the option of manually typing in the the word 'Flat,' or 'Linear' or 'Circular'.

I'm using Designer Pro 7.1.2.18680

I see, so the Cintiq hook is detecting the drop down as a text input field.
