Locked out.

Selected a switch component, then hit the help (?) button. Wiki appears. Actually, WIKI appears AND the details on the switch icon properties appears. All good to this point.
Then I click on the "help and resources page which gets focus on the switch properties for the switch component. I click the Help and resources again to read. Switch properties gets focus, and I click on the Help/resources again - The switch properties go behind the Help page, and now, since the switch properties required input, and there is no focus on that component, closing the help/resource is impossible.

The only way out is to end the FC9 task and start all over.

Thanks for letting us know, Alan. I'll try to put something into a future version of Flowcode to avoid this situation.

I have found a workaround for this that will 'recover' Flowcode out of this situation (and so any unsaved work won't be lost). It involves a 3rd party tool called "AutoHotKey" that I was not familiar with until today.

Here's a link where I found the info: https://superuser.com/questions/1560070 ... -non-modal

For convenience, the script is in the attached ZIP.

If you ever have this issue, right-click the .ahk file and select "Run Script". Then with your mouse over the "help and resources" window, press Ctrl+E. That window will now interact to mouse messages and you will be able to move it out of the way or close it.

Thanks - I'm not after a resolve. I save my work regularly. Just wanted you to know so you can perform continuous improvement on a product that already is very good.
