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!

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. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
