Carshow2 et al:

This bug is similar to one I ran into with MLO 3.6.x. I got the same results 
when trying to add a new task while the cursor was in the Notes box (it worked 
when I was in Properties generally-but I don't use Contexts as well as I 
should).

Happy to report that both of these issues are fixed in v4.0. In the meantime, 
thanks for the workaround!

Subject: [MLO] Bug report - Hotkeys and New tasks

This is a small and strange bug, but I figured you might want to know:

I often use hotkeys when entering new tasks. For example, I almost always use 
the "Ins." or "Alt + Ins." to create a new task. I then immediately type in the 
task title, then press "Alt + C" to type in the context. Often, when I have to 
enter a series of tasks, I will quickly repeat this series of operations. What 
I discovered is this - If I enter the task name into the new task's title 
field, press "Alt + C", then type in the context (say, for example, "phone 
calls"), if I IMMEDIATELY press "Ins." to create a new task, the new task will 
be created, but the cursor will not be placed inside the task title field of 
the new text. The practical effect is, if I'm not paying attention, I will 
immediately start typing the task title, and instead of this title being 
entered in the task title field, it will instead operate as a search and bring 
up the first task in the view that starts with whatever letter I just typed. 
This is a minor nuisance...unless I make it as far as hitting the space bar 
before noticing what I've done. This then "completes" whatever the last task 
was that MLO brought up,

There is a workaround. If I type a new task title, press "Alt + C", type in the 
context, AND THEN hit enter, or tab, or "Alt. + 1" to modify the task notes, 
then the next time I hit "Ins.", a new task will be created and the cursor will 
be inside the task title field, and I can immediately start typing the next 
task title.
