This might cause more problems/confusion, I just don’t know what the left-shift thing is doing. If I mention this possible “fix”, it becomes like a viral rumor, users are going to be trying to fix ANY problem by doing this left-shift thing on their own and it won’t be logged or communicated to anyone. As a makerspace, we’ve got a lot of users of varying skill levels and they used it unsupervised. But what is this left-shift thing doing? Because people are going to be asking me how I fixed it. Ok, that’s great, the problem is fixed, we’re ok. I’ve never seen this in any other software. So that’s twice now we’ve had LB get stuck with some persistent, bizarre error that can only be fixed by holding down the left-shift during a restart. I tried to reboot LB and the PC a dozen times, no luck, then I remembered the left-shift key thing. This is a makerspace with a lot of casual users, I don’t know how it got into this state. The laser status would change from “Ready” to “Disconnected” every time you tried to run a job, and stayed in Disconnect. I was advised to hold down the left-shift key while restarting LB and that worked. If I close LB or kill its process, it will disappear but come back when LB is rebooted. When un-fullscreening LB and moving LB around, it doesn’t follow. It’s on top whenever LB is on top, and then puts itself on top of LB. Lightburn has some sort of zombie window or panel partially off-screen, overlapping the top left hand corner as shown. This laser is at a community shop, many users, so I don’t know how it got to this state.
