Zooming

By bradvoy - Posted on 19 July 2008

I often find when using the desktop version that the map zooming shortcut keys (up arrow and down arrow) stop working.  I haven't been able to figure out a pattern of events that leads to this.  When this happens I can still zoom the map by going to Program | View | Zoom | In, but that's tedious.  I've never experienced this problem on my phone; only with the desktop version.  Is there a way to avoid this, or a way to restore the shortcut functionality when this happens (short of shutting down and restarting the program)?

I'll found out more if I can, but I have at least identified a pattern. This is happening when you've clicked on the zoomcontrol or status line.

I suspect that the map control is losing the focus to the smaller controls and doesn't seem to gain it back. It is therefore not getting the keyboard events.

I haven't found that there is anything you can do to get the focus back, but there could be something to avoid it in the software.
