Hey Dave, Yeah, it's been bugging me for a long time. Just wondered if anyone knew of some setting to avoid it. I have two monitors also, but it happens without going over to the other monitor.

As I remember, in Version 11.6 the cursor always kind of "stayed" in the command line or tito window. When Version 12 came out it was broken. Wasn't fixed in 12.2 and has been a pain ever since. Especially now that I am using two monitors. I either have my email up on my side monitor or schematic design file. Since the keyboard entry doesn't stay in the Allegro window, entering shortcut keys for scripts many times results in something happening on my other monitor. This is one of the "items" that is a classic example of functions getting changed or broken and then never fixed. I wish Cadence would fix this, It would make my life easier. dave mattice -----Original Message----- From: icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Gary MacIndoe Sent: Monday, April 24, 2006 12:06 PM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] command line disconnect Hey guys, Since it's been too quiet, here's something that's been bugging me for some time. I use scripts to jump around layers and do all kinds of things. The problem is, while working on a design, quite often I have to pan in order for the command line at the bottom to take my keyboard input. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any clues as to how to fix this? Thanks for responses! Gary E. MacIndoe PCB Design Engineer Advanced Micro Devices Longmont, Colorado
