02/05 Edit: I focused this post on the "KEY" counter and moved the other stuff to its own post.
Issue: The "KEY" counter no longer responds to certain keys on the keyboard.
Versions Affected: v2.90 onward
Introduced in Version: v2.90
Operating System: Windows, DOS (2.93), likely others
Further Details
As is often the case, this bug affects a project I was working on. Initially, I thought that the mentioned counters were just entirely non-responsive in version 2.93. After doing a little experimenting, however, I've found that the actual problem is that certain keys were removed from whatever code changes those counters on key-press. At least, that seems like the case?
In my fiddling, I've noticed that the following keys which worked in version 2.80 are no longer affecting the "KEY" counter in version 2.90:
- Modifier / Movement Keys
Spoiler - Punctuation Keys
Spoiler - Non-Numeric Number Pad Keys
Spoiler
You'll notice that four keys – Page Up, Page Down, Home, and End – which worked in the MS-DOS versions no longer work in version 2.90+. These are the keys that concern me the most.
