scookBlame SONAR if you wish, the root of the problem is Windows.
Hi Scook. Certainly window management is involved here, but you cannot say the problem comes from windows...
As I've said, I don't have this problem with Bazille under Maschine. With Maschine for example, you can "play/stop" your project using the space bar, as in Sonar, but when the "Save" pop-up window of Bazille is open, if you press the spacebar, you get a space character and it has no effect on Maschine Play button, as expected.
So it seems to be possible to use windows functions correctly here, or maybe it is because Maschine is a cross-platform program as you say... I am not a software developper, but are all other daws cross-platform (as Bazille seems not to have this problem anywhere else) ? And so why does Sonar not use the same cross-platform architeture as it seems to be the standard now ? Well, it is not a very serious issue... but, just saying...
