Arrow keys and CMP

Post by micn10 »

Hello there,

I just completing an install of TS2012 SP1 HF4 on my main computer. And I am noticing that the arrow keys aren't working in the CMP.
I have the same problem on my laptop - that is unless I run the CMP maximized in which case the arrow keys do work..... :?

Have anybody else seen similar behavior?? Any advise on this "feature" would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Michael

When you talk about the arrow keys are you talking about scrolling the lists when in thumbnail mode ?

Yep, that's the one. Like for example you want to download a number of assets. You select the first and then hold the shift key while pressing the down arrow key until all items are selected.

For some reason this will only work when the CMP is running in a maximized window. In any other size window I will need to hold down the Ctrl key and use the mouse to select all the items which is a bit more tedious. I've been trying to see if I could find any setting or config that would tell me why this is, but I've come up utterly empty - and rather confused. :?

Thanks
Michael

Michael,

Thought so - it's an undocumented / unfixed bug in CM, no prospect of a fix now, it's just something to live with. The CM in TANE is likely to use a different code base so the problem should not occur there - just a whole lot of new ones :D .

does selecting the first item you want, and then scrolling down and shift+clicking the last one work?

Yep, that one does work - and is what I've been using most of the time.
