Sometimes some of the hotkeys stop working--in particular, Ctrl+[ for Zoom/Fit in window, and Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End to move to beginning or end of document. Restarting Finale cures it. It doesn't seem like it's a "virtual stuck key", since it's more like the key not working at all, and if Ctrl was stuck, for example, I would notice it in other things.

Anyone else experience this?

I don't use those very often. I guess some don't work with all Tools. Maybe ctrl-[ and ctrl-] don't work in the Text Tool, from quick testing I just did. Edit: or with the Lyric Tool either.

They stop working everywhere, including the Selection tool.

I mostly use v26. I'm not sure if I will get that behavior. I'll let you know.

Thanks. It's sporadic, usually after I've been working a long time.

I'm also finding with Finale 26 that command-1 and command-2 sometimes don't work in simple edit mode, but do work when I switch to the selection cursor.
