Buggy Dimension Input on MacBook Pro (MacOS Sierra)

[Snortimer]

Greetings!

I've been having a terrible issue with user parameters in Fusion 360 on my Mac. Around 30-50% of the time, when I'm entering a parameter name into a dimension field (more common with center-diameter circles), it'll act like I've hit Escape and will back out of the dimension field (and delete the object if I haven't previously completed it), and start doing whatever my keystrokes would do if they were hot keys. This is especially common when I get to a capital "W" in a parameter name (or at least it feels like it is).

I know I'm not hitting Escape, and I'm certainly not hitting Enter or anything like that.

Another parameter issue I'm having is that when I do manage to enter one into a dimension field, when I select one from the list (by hitting down-arrow and Enter), it will auto-complete and then the cursor will stop blinking. I can't continue entering text or formulae until I manually click on the cursor with the mouse.

These issues are very aggravating, and they really slow down getting any work done, because I have to do things over and over (sometimes 5 or 6 times) just to draw a circle (or dimension a line), or because I have to take my hands off the keyboard in the middle of writing a formula.

Thank you!

@Snortimer Thanks for posting about this and I'm sorry to hear about the focus struggles with the dimension input window (and other areas like renaming items in the browser). These are known issues and we think we have the root cause isolated. A fix is tentatively schedule for the 14th that we hope will resolve these issues. If you have any questions, please let me know. I hope this helps. 

Thanks,

I just updated and that seems to be fixed. This'll make life a lot easier!

Thanks for the quick response!

Are you guys sure this is fixed? I've been running into this for quite a while and am still seeing it in 2.0.2604. Is that the build for Dec 14?

Here's a ScreenCast. Sorry there are no keys recorded. ScreenCast isn't finding Fusion 360 at the moment. Basically, I'm typing LED. The textfield loses focus after I type the L.
