Space bar has quit woking on new models in 0.19

Post by freedman »

I have been doing lots of mapping stuff in the macro world so I'm not sure exactly the circumstances but it appears the space bar has stopped working in 0.19. If I open the model in 0.18 the space bar works, if I open it in 0.19 it won't work. I have reset my config file using 0.19 and that didn't change anything. I was using 0.19225 for all my work, I just installed 0.19335 and no difference. A couple questions:

1) Is there a new option to turn on/off space bar.
2) Anyone been making changes to how the space bar works.

I can go to properties and set Visibility, this works perfectly.
If I create a new sketch in 0.18 the spacebar works, if I then open it in 0.19 the space bar won't work.

Here is a model. The space bar won't work to turn sketches or features On/Off in 0.19.

Win 10 machine.

I plan to erase the config file folder and do a complete reinstall of 0.19235 but I thought I would give someone a chance to ask me for some thing before I do this. I can create new files or reset something if this helps.
Thanks

Please add your full FreeCAD infos. Did you try to reset your preferences?

I did reset preferences, I called it the config file in my writings. I can open a new file, make body and sketch and the space bar is not working.

I also wonder: A macro I run copies sketch property.base and creates a new one, I noticed that in the property view "Visibility" is right next to the new property I created. See pic. After a reinstall I will check this.

Probably not helpful, but I tried your file and it worked quite normally. I am using exactly the same version that you posted.

Does not appear to be anything wrong with either your file or with FreeCAD.

I know something similar from MacOS, after having used CheckGeometry: I have to switch to another program and back and then it works again.
Is FreeCAD besides of the toggle space aware? Can you enter a label containing a space?

Thanks all, I erased the config directory and reinstalled 0.19235 and everything looks good. I must have messed up the FreeCAD program with some prototype code.
