'Key' object not working while mouse is clicked
Hi, I'm using Max/MSP 5.0.5 (36470) on a MacBook Pro OS 10.5.6.
The 'key' object doesn't work reliably while the mouse button is clicked; it seems to report a keypress only about 75% of the time.
(I'm testing using a simple patch with a 'button' object connected to the first outlet of a 'key' object. I click and hold the mouse button somewhere in the patcher, and hit a letter key on the keyboard slowly and repeatedly -- but not all of the presses are reported.)
Thanks for any advice.

Hi Marek,
I can reproduce here. Not sure what can be done about it, but if you need a quick workaround, you should be able to use the [hi] object for keyboard input, and it doesn't seem to have the same issue.
