Selecting trials and events (Mac version)

[jzacks]

Hi all,

As I edit an experiment using 4.0.2 on a Mac, I find that sometimes after selecting a trial I'm unable to activate the event list by clicking or tabbing. Similarly, selecting a block appears to sometimes make it impossible to select a trial and/or event from their respective lists.

Sorry if there's something obvious, but is this a bug or an aspect of the interface I'm not understanding?

Best,

Jeff

It's a bug. The behavior was improved with 4.0.2, but not completely fixed. If you close the experiment window and reopen it, your experiment should work again. This can be a bit annoying, though. A more permanent fix is to disable full keyboard access in the System Preferences (System Preferences->Keyboard & Mouse->Keyboard Shortcuts->Text boxes and lists only).

If you would rather leave this feature generally enabled, you can disable it for just SuperLab by pasting the following in a Terminal window:

defaults write com.Cedrus.SuperLab AppleKeyboardUIMode 0
(then press return)

You will then need to relaunch SuperLab. If you wish to return SuperLab to your system default, use the following command:

defaults delete com.Cedrus.SuperLab AppleKeyboardUIMode
(then press return)
