Mac OS X 10.2.x Disables Modifier Keys?

Posted by pudge on from the works-for-me dept.

drunkToaster writes " Adobe's support pages note that Mac OS X 10.2.x fails to re-enable modifier keys after an authentication session. The keys are disabled during the user/password dance as a security measure. Adobe explains a workaround for the problem which drastically effects many of its applications (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc)." This makes no sense to me; I authenticate to various servers etc. all day long, and never have problems with modifier keys. The Adobe explanation seems wholly inadequate.

    we often need to access SMB servers during the day

    Just wondering... what kind of servers do you access during the night?

  4. Adobe and modifier keys.... by tomdarch · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Grrrr! I'm constantly annoyed that Adobe thought that it would be cool in Illustrator if Cmd-H hides/shows object edges, rather than hiding the application (unlike every other OSX app!) Even if I'm not getting the error in the story, that particular modifier key is useless to me because I can't remember to use some different key combination to hide Illustrator!

    Try a little lemon juice, I hear it can be very helpful with stubborn stains. Otherwise, you might want to start using a bib.
