I'm having a weird problem with ACE that happens from time to time. Randomly, for no reason that I have been able to find, ACE will interpret any click on the interface as a right click rather than a left click. Its not swapping them, its just making both left and right clicks register as ONLY right clicks. I'm using Ableton Live 8.1.1 and ACE v1.0. It is not solved by closing the GUI and re-opening or even creating another instance. The only thing that solves the problem is restarting Ableton Live. As you can imagine this gets quite frustrating when I'm programming a sound and in the middle of it this happens and I'm not able to save my progress on the sound. What can I do about this? Is this a problem on my end or is it a bug in ACE? Thanks for any help! And thanks for this amazing soft synth!

Weird indeed. What OS? Are you using a lefty mouse?

Mac OSX 10.6.2
Right handed mouse. I'm on my MacBook Pro and it even has the problem if I try to use the trackpad instead of my mouse so I don't believe it has to do with the mouse.

If you unplug the mouse does the trackpad still have the problem?

Yes it does

You might want to check your mouse settings out under preferences to see if it's with the settings.
Just a thought.

I've had that happen in 10.6.2 as well, but not with ACE but just very infrequently in Safari.

This happens to me every time and I finally tracked it down. You may be doing something slightly different.

I have Ctrl-1, Ctrl-2 and such bound to switch my Spaces desktop. If I'm using Zebra and hit one of these shortcuts, the focus changes to another app. Zebra seems to register that the Ctrl button was pressed, but doesn't get the keyup message. So when I come back to zebra, it acts that the control button is still down. Ctrl-click is right click in OS X, so all I get is right click behavior. Pressing and release control fixes the issue.

I suspect this will happen with any application or keybinding which switches focus from Zebra that involves the Control key.

Also, this happens to me in every u-he plug, not just Zebra and ACE. I'm pretty sure it doesn't happen in other plugins.

does this pull up a funky little drop down box like this

This happens to me all the time, with all my soft. An apple, not a Urs bug.

I can usually correct this by holding down, "ctrl," and clicking on my trackpad- probably a left click on your mouse.

The problem is that it only happens on the ACE interface. If i close the GUI my mouse works fine. It resumes this behavior when I reopen the GUI.

I believe the two posts above me have solved the problem though

Thanks guys! It was caused by me switching spaces with Ctrl-1,2,etc.

Glad it helped. Hopefully Urs will fix it soon.

I've had the same issue with Zebra as well as ACE. Congrats on being able to reproduce it, I wasn't able to (except for when I wasn't trying, naturally).
