General Mach Discussion / Re: Keyboard input for axis stopped

I went thru that obstacle but have found that keyboard input for the axis's is intermittant. It will work for a while in x-y axis but on z it will move one direction then stop all input for any axis when the z is switched. Press the red button and the x-y will work again. The gcode window also changes color when the axis stops. this is so strange as it was working flawlessly for months. The mpg flyout will control all axis's all the time. Trying to run a program shows exaggerated movements with an up and down on the z axis after z move. I reloaded Mach and have tried several keyboards with the same results.
