bro i just had to close it

my game to stop it

First of all I want to say I LOVE your tool!
I've made some decently viewed comedic animations on YouTube with it, however...

I am having the same issue with it softlocking.

I found that if I click in the "Ease in" / "Ease out" text boxes to type in how many seconds I want, the menu sticks despite releasing the binded key (F3) & tapping it to try and unstick it.
It's why I'm always careful in only clicking
the arrow up or arrow down buttons next to the text boxes
to use the "Ease in" / "Ease out" buttons.

I'm also not sure if it's intended but I have to hold F3 to keep the menu up,
and I think because I have the button pressed when I click on the text box
to keep the menu up, I think the tool believes I'm still holding the button down when I'm not.

I only write this because even though I save every 5 minutes it would be great to not have
a softlock issue where I literally have to ALT+F4 because even if I bring up the start menu
the stop motion helper toolbox covers up the exit button in the bottom left.

if you need more specific use case information I can let you know, I genuinely want to help prevent this not only happening to me, but to many other people I can imagine that have it happen to them. :)

will it unstuck if you press enter after inputting stuff in the easing fields?

To be specific, I can recreate it consistently.

When it happens I am holding the binded F3 key to have the smh menu open, then I click on one of the ease in / out text boxes there, I release the F3 button to type in however many seconds I want, the cursor then wigs out and gets stuck in one spot on the other side of the screen, and despite clicking out of the box and releasing F3, and clicking on other static parts of the menu and pressing F3 afterwards, it never seems to register for the menu that the button is released, so it gets stuck.

I will attempt that now.

I found the intended method! :D

If I KEEP the binded menu button pressed while typing in the number of seconds for ease in / out, then while keeping the binded menu button pressed I hit enter to submit the number, it works as intended as in releasing the cursor & I can let go of the menu button and it closes correctly.

yeah, i recall that these text input panels have a focus thing, clicking on them puts them "in focus" and then forwards keyboard input to it. weird, though, i don't recall running in an issue like that myself, but that's probably due to not closing smh menu when inputting easing. so to unfocus it, may need to click somewhere else when menu is active, or press enter, although i thought that it'd unfocus too when hidden.

probably that issue could be fixed by specifically unfocusing these things when hiding the menu
