[investigating] Arrow Keys Are Moody

I use a desktop Mac and a MacBook Pro with Safari to enjoy Glitch. The desktop computer works fine, but when I attempt to use the arrow keys on my MacBook to move my avatar, he won't budge. Space works fine for jumping, and when I click on a signpost or animal, et cetera... the arrow keys work fine for selecting the various options. But when I want him to move, he won't budge.

I checked the desktop Mac to see if Safari was to blame, but my lil guy runs around like no tomorrow there. It's just the laptop, and I didn't have issues before the new update.

  • yeah, I was just about to look for the old thread on this problem. I'm getting this today worse than ever before. First in Firefox, the arrow keys didn't work at all. Then in Safari, they worked at first, but then kept stopping (I think after losing focus on the main screen, like looking at another window) and I had to reload to fix. Now back on Firefox, seems to be working well so far.

    I'm also on a MacBook, fwiw.

  • I get it whenever I leave the game's window.

  • For me it's as soon as I log in. On the desktop I have to click in the gaming window and then I can use the arrow keys, but no such luck on the other compy. :P

  • I'll look into this and file something once I've figured out everything I can. I've had a pretty hard time reproducing errors like these on my end, so please be patient with me, but I'll see what I can do. Thanks for filing this, you guys!

  • I haven't tried it again in Safari, but after the game came back up, I haven't had the problem at all in Firefox.

  • In case it helps at all, I noticed that one time when I was only able to jump up and down, I was also not able to select the highlighted chicken or butterfly in mid-jump like I would have been able to do normally. I believe I was in Safari when this happened, and it was shortly before the game shut down to restore from the backup.

  • I tried again on my MacBook just now with Safari - no luck. Downloaded Mozilla Firefox - all is good. :)
