Occasional problem with keyboard shortcuts; a pop up floater appears

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Been working at relearning ZBrush after a long absence, and have had this occur to me with a fair bit of regularity. If I’m working on something and use one of the keyboard shortcuts (say for example x to turn on symmetry) I’ll instead got a pop up toolbar with the keystroke in the text entry portion of the pop up. Sometimes there will be extra Japanese/Chinese characters as well. I have to exit and restart the program to get it to stop. Here’s an image showing what I’m seeing; I have a standard Z4 installation with most (not all) of the plug ins added on a Win 7 Asus laptop. Any pointers to existing info appreciated if this has happened elsewhere… didn’t see such info on my first few passes through. Thanks in advance.

This looks as though it is something to do with your particular setup which is causing a hotkey conflict. Take a look at settings for your keyboard or tablet or any particular software that you have installed that might use such a display. It’s certainly nothing to do with ZBrush.

This is a bit belated, but I found the problem and adding that info here if it comes up for someone else (well, it’ll be a bit vague at this point, but should be enough of a starter for someone with similar dilimma). I have an Asus laptop and they have a program to help their techs diagnose things, and the default keyboard command to activate it was a similar combo to something one would use in Zbrush (might have been a combination of control + shift + space… been a while). Anyway, identified the program, changed the default, and smooth sailing since.
