MessageBox causes problems with command line

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

MessageBox causes problems with command line

Post by *MarcinW »

The cause of this problem is probably similar to: Tab and Esc keys sometimes don't work. I found this problem when testing previous problems with MessageBox :/

Steps to reproduce (tested with 8.01 rc4):
1) open any file with Lister,
2) search for any string until "not found" message box appears,
3) now command line in main TC window is not working properly:

Enter - only selects text, without executing it in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions
Tab - ignored in 32-bit (probably due to handling inside TApplication.IsDlgMsg in Delphi 2), works properly in 64-bit version

This is a known limitation. Currently there are no plans to change it, sorry.
