Start8 + ModernMix issue

from Stardock Forums

I am running Start8 1.12 and ModernMix 1.0a.

I use a classic IBM keyboard and use Keytweak to define the right Ctrl key as the Left Window key. This is probably not relevant but I thought I should mention it.

I have Start8 set so that the Left Window key toggles to the Modern UI and pressing it again takes me back to the desktop. This has been working perfectly for ages.

For example.

1. Start from desktop.

2. Press Window key.

3. Press Window key.

4. We are back at the desktop.

 

But I just installed ModernMix and now I have a small issue. If I do the following, I get the Start8 menu opening when it shouldn't.

1. Start from desktop.

2. Press Window key.

3. Click on any ModernUI app and it runs full screen.

4. Press Window key.

5. I'm back at the dektop but the Start8 menu has opened when it shouldn't.

6. If I press Esc instead of the start menu closing, I go back to the ModernUI app.

Perhaps I'm wrong to blame it on the installation of ModernMix. Perhaps it is becasue I upgraded to Start8 1.12.

I also encountered this problem with Start8 1.11 and I don't have ModernMix.

I just tried it with my laptop, which has Start8 1.11 and doesn't have ModernMix. Same problem.

So this is a bug in Start8.

Please, Stardock, can you take a look at it?

Instructions to see bug:

1. Start from desktop.

2. Press Window key.

3. Click on any ModernUI app and it runs full screen.

4. Press Window key.

5. I'm back at the dektop but the Start8 menu has opened when it shouldn't.

6. If I press Esc instead of the start menu closing, I go back to the ModernUI app.

In testing here I have been unable to reproduce this problem, though I am using slightly newer versions of both ModernMix and Start8.

When we put out 1.15 could you retry and let us know if you continue to have the problem.
