WinUAE - Amiga Emulator Tips

Closing the popup config menu on a Mac

The following workaround solves the endless-loop-when-pressing-OK-or-Cancel issue of the popup config menu. It has been tested using the latest WinUAE under CXG 9.2/Mac in Full Windowed mode. 

1. Press the config menu hotkey (F12). 
2. Mess around with the config. 
3. At this point the config window is in focus. Click on the WinUAE screen outside the config window, so the window loses focus, then press and release F12. 
4. Press OK or Cancel and the dialog will disappear as expected. 

I suppose the cause of the problem is that WinUAE doesn't receive an F12 key release event after displaying the config dialog, and the workaround forces a release event to be sent "manually", which fixes the infinite loop problem.
