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.

Yes, I have noticed the same thing.

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.

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!
