keyboard input not detected when game is running - MonadoBoy - 06-05-2019

Hello Everyone,

Dolphin detects keyboard input before a game is being ran - such as shortcuts. but when I run a game - I cannot use my keyboard for game input and shortcuts like full screen - when I look at the control configuration dolphin shows it does not detect input from my keyboard. but when I close the game it detects my input again. is there a way to fix this. It may be because I made dolphin portable using portable.txt the other day to move all my texture packs to a new hard drive.


Edit: I forgot to mention it does detect real wiimotes and controller input - so my controllers still work, just not my keyboard.

What games are you trying to play? What is your controller config?

Default controller config. Any game. When any game is started the keyboard stops working until i shut the game down. Regular controllers and the wiimote works. But when i use default dinput controls for my keyboard it only works before i open a game (you can see the controls working in control settings tab), but when i open a game those controls dont work anymore if i use a keyboard. Same thing with shortcuts like fullscreen(alt enter) or esape to close the game. None of those work

I found the build that broke my keyboard input 9876. the last working build was 9874. I reported the issue to the issue tracker.
