Re: Forms 4.5: [Alt]+[Space] locks up the screen

Thanks very much for the help. I am pleased to learn that this is a bug that has been fixed in version 4.5.8.1.2. The version that I am using is 4.5.7.1.6, so the bug is still there. Now I know I do not need to debug this problem any further. Is there a place where I can download the version 4.5.8.1.2. or I have to purchase this version separately?

I do not use Alt+Space on purpose. This happened because these two keys are placed together and sometimes the users just pressed these keys at the same time by mistake, but the result is very annoying: the screen is locked up.
