Keyboard not responding [with solution]
This started happening two (real-life) days ago: game window responds to mouse but not keyboard. Chat text entry still responds to keyboard. I'm not filing a bug, but offering something to help yer tech-support pixies. I've seen this in both Flash Player v10 and v11.
Symptoms:
* game doesn't respond to the keyboard shortcuts
* Glitch doesn't stop running in a direction even though the user isn't touching mouse nor keyboard.
Happens in two situations:
* sometimes when I've switched to a different program's window, and switch back
* every time I hold down a key, hold down mouse button, let go of key, then let go of mouse button.
Who can fix this:
* Probably not TinySpeck. Glitch is not the only time Adobe's Flash Player does this.
How to fix this:
* right-click the Adobe Flash Player to get the 'A game by Tiny Speck' context menu. Left-click elsewhere to dismiss it. Keyboard should start responding again.
* in the case of a "can't stop moving in ↑←↓→ direction! oh noes!", release all mouse buttons and tap the direction your Glitch is moving in. Adobe Flash Player will "hear" the new key-release and stop moving your Glitch.
