The point I'm trying to make is that whether the "exit on mouse move" box is checked or unchecked, "space bar" should bring up the Settings menu.
If it does not, the user has some problem.
If unchecking the box stops the problem, then while this is a good troubleshooting step, if the user wants the "exit on mouse move" capability it doesn't resolve his or her issue.
Wizwad states:
Have you got "Exit on Mouse Move" checked, Schulamitefire? If so, then hitting the space bar or any key on the keyboard will also cause the aquarium to exit.
I'm sorry, Wizwad, but that is incorrect - it is not how the program is designed to work. All of the "hotkeys" should be operative whether "exit on mouse move" is checked or unchecked. Or, at least, that is the way it works on my MA 3.1 installations.
Just trying to help.
