Using Filemaker 16 Pro on Windows 10 Pro PC, having an OnLayoutKeystroke script trigger of any kind set up (even when calling an empty script) will malfunction when placing focus on text filed and holding down left or right cursor keys to continuously move cursor, or holding down delete key or other non-alphanumeric keys to perform a repeating function.
It may not occur immediately, but continuous holding down of the delete key (for example) will cause FileMaker to start repeatedly inserting periods instead of deleting characters. Likewise, holding down left arrow key while in a text field will cause percent sign characters to be repeatedly inserted instead of cursor moving left.
Ay thoughts on what might be causing this?
Thanks
If you have a layout keystroke trigger and hold down a button indefinitely, I'd imagine you are attempting to fire off hundreds of trigger scripts in the command chain before filemaker finally fails.
FileMaker only has keystroke triggers, as opposed to keypress/keyhold/keylift triggers.
I've never personally thought that anyone would be holding down a button when triggering that isn't a modifier button (ctrl, shift, command). But it looks like you may have discovered unique behavior.
To take this further, you may want to put together a report in Report a Product Issue
