[2.0.64] Failure to suppress MacOS system accent menu

Post by thesixthroc »

When I hold any key (like 'A' to move), Factorio can under some conditions fail to suppress the native system accent menu on MacOS (version 15.6), which appears in the top-left above the game window (as pictured). This should only appear when writing text.

Never happens to me on 15.3.2 so must be the macOS software issue.

The issue seems very intermittant. I experienced it all day but only for about 4 days this year.

Note that I am using a standalone client.

This did not recur so far. Could be an OS bug I've upgraded out of.

I talked with the Mac guy internally and we don't do anything explicitly with this in our code. So, if it does - or doesn't - get suppressed it's outside of our control.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
