How stupid is that. Have FCE 3.5 installed on my desktop machine and on my laptop. On the laptop cmd-z to undo is not working as a keyboard shortcut (althought shift-cmd-z to redo works!!) Also the space bar to start/stop the movie is not working.
Deleted the prefs already. Didn't fixed the problem.
A German language version of the software with the keyboard set to German on both machines? The two machines are identical? Try plugging the desktop keyboard into the laptop and see what happens.
This seems to be a Leopard problem with foreign (not US English) languages and keykoards.
Accidentially I found a workaround, consider the Mac to be rebooted:
- Open International.
- Drag English to be first language.
- Drag <your language> back to first position.
- Close International.
- Open FCE 3.5 or FCE 4 and all keyboard shortcuts will work fine.
- This will be permanent until next
reboot.
No such problems under Tiger!
I already addressed this 100x to Apple Feedback since I installed Leopard in Nov 2007. But unfortunately they do not hear me. 😟
Unfortunately I can't help with a procedure to retrieve our message. If you haven't recieved a copy via mail, I would say it is lost. Never mind, I will come up with a message myself in order to contribute my part to a possible solution.
Additional info (reboot Mac before reproducing it), f.y.c.:
The problem only concerns Swiss-German (could not test Swiss-French) keyboard.
If you add the solely German keyboard driver to the list and enable keyboard in the menu bar, you may test that by switching between Swiss-GR and German keyboard.
