SpaceBar in Game Window in 5.3

Our game uses the space bar for controls. In 5.3, in the editor, if you hit the space bar the "Display 1, 2 etc" drop down of the 5.3 Game Window pops up and messes with the controls cause the game does not register the space bar up. Any way to fix this?

What is that drop down for anyway?

 

?

 

I've noticed this bug as well, but I couldn't find a way to disable this from happening. Google-Fu doesn't show anyone else talking about this bug so far. Makes it impossible to test inputfields completely as you can't hit the spacebar.

ev3d would you mind filing a bug report?

 

what is that window for? i am at a loss to even describe what that drop down is... haha

 

I submitted a bug anyway..

 

Case 755092

 

I'm new with Unity, but I'm having the same issue.
How can I track this issue and check if someone has find a solution to it?

 

i'm not exactly sure...

 

Yeah this is really annoying me. Please someone find a fix for this. Everytime I jump in my game, the F***ing drop down menu comes up and screws up everything.

 

In my case, it's enter making the drop down show up. I've found that docking the game window somewhere else (in my case on another screen) fixes the issue temporarily.

 

Wanted to confirm I'm seeing this on 5.3.2f1 as well. Very annoying.

 

Super annoying.

 

I was having some frustration with this and ended up coming with a work around. This may not be ideal for published work - but it does the trick while you are testing.

Attach a script to your dropdown element first.

In the script you should be using UnityEngine.EventSystems and implementing the IPointerEnterHandler and IPointerExitHandler interfaces.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using UnityEngine.UI;
4. using UnityEngine.EventSystems;
5.  
6. public class DropdownScript : MonoBehaviour, IPointerEnterHandler, IPointerExitHandler {
7.  
8. void Start()
9.     {
10.         dropDown = GetComponent<Dropdown>();
11.         dropDown.interactable = false;
12.     }
13.  
14.     public void OnPointerEnter(PointerEventData ped)
15.     {
16.         dropDown.interactable = true;
17.     }
18.  
19.     public void OnPointerExit(PointerEventData ped)
20.     {
21.         dropDown.interactable = false;
22.     }
23. }

Using this method, the dropdown will not be affected by other input unless the mouse is over the dropdown. Hope this helps.

 

My own solution was to quit Unity and delete any of these files from the project folder and then relaunch Unity and load the project again. This seems to stay fixed.

YourProjectName.sln
YourProjectName.userprefs
Assembly-CSharp-Editor.csproj
Assembly-CSharp.csproj

 

i found that, if you press "Maximize on play" button, then hit play, then pause and turn off this button, display dropdown will not appear

 

So this is still an issue I guess. Just started using 5.3.4 and experienced this bug for the first time. It's beyond annoying. It's preventing me from testing. Pretty ridiculous this stuff doesn't get caught in QA. Anyone know of a solution yet?
