Running SketchUp 2018 Pro, on a Macbook (OSX Yosemite 10.10.5)
the animated gif below explains it well.
In it I draw a single rectangle and then hit the space bar one time… after that, during all the moving around, I’m not pressing anything. but the cursor changes around between the arrow icon, and the vertical text icon. all on it’s own.
on occasion (but not always) the problem deepens. While the cursor is in it’s text icon phase I can’t use any of my standard keyboard shortcuts… they simply don’t activate any tools…
It’s as if there’s a brief shortcut lock out period where it just doesn’t register with sketchUp. But they do come back up given a short period of time.
Any Ideas, about what’s going on here.
