Hi there,
Does anyone else find the undo shortcut (and sometimes copy/paste) often just don't work in Houdini on the mac?
It seems to happen a lot for me. So much so that when I undo now I usually just do it from the top menu, which is way slower than the shorcut.
Anyone?
Pete
Undo (Command + Z) on mac seems flakey...

Yes it's a bit flakey but nailing specific reproducible steps for a bug report is tough - you can use the RMB Copy/Paste which is rock solid.
There is also env variable that looks promising too:
HOUDINI_ENABLE_UNDO_BUG_NOTIFY
If set to 1, this environment variable enables verbose output for potential
undo bugs as they occur in Houdini.

Cheers for that Artye, didn't know that one existed!
The whole copy/paste/undo* breaking on OSX is kinda frustrating. It seems to be pretty random, and while I've been running into the issue since the 15 beta's, I've never managed to find a way of satisfactorily reproducing it. Will turn this on and hopefully at least I'll have some decent logs to submit
* im assuming the former two are similar to the undo bug

Debugging this now - a good way to run tests is to open the ‘Undo History…’ and leave the window open. It shows a list of operations to undo/redo, and you can see when it works and then when Undo stops working.
EDIT: Found one culprit. ‘Geometry select type change’ ie. select tool and pressing keys 2,3,4 for points, edges and prims, stops the UNdo buffer from working. OsX, H15.5.487 Submitted as bug #75661

Nailed the next issue - where the keyboard shortcuts no longer work.
If you CMD+B over the viewport for full-screen, no keyboard shortcuts will work, i.e. CMD+S for Save or CMD+Z for Undo, to fix open a window like the Undo History and then the keyboard will start working again.
H15.5.489, OsX 10.10.5, Gtx 980, dual screens
Edit: Bug ID=75708
EDIT: a good workaround when CMD+S for save doesn't work, is to use OPT+S. That seems to be bulletproof.

Something to check; the undo shortcut doesn't work when the cursor is over the viewport. If the cursor is over the Network View, Parameters or a floating curve editor, then all is fine.
MacOS 10.12.2, H15.5.688
EDIT: looks like @Doudini already bagged that one way back
