Re: 2012 SAP sometimes decides to ignore the ALT key
I'm using PS CS5 (12.4) and today the Alt problem came back. But I realized that selecting PS without maximizing in full window just to bring it in front and, with PS in front, select the Softimage window that is in the back, fixed my Alt problem without restarting SI or closing PS. I always use PS in window mode over Softimage, but I guess it may work with PS maximized too.
