The new version of STRIP causes the ALT and CTRL keys to stop working in other programs. I have to close STRIP and the agent to get them back. This is on Windows 7.

BTW I like the new icons. I do agree though that the font size is too large. It really should be user configurable.

Hello @achunter

We will be releasing an update to STRIP for Windows that addresses conflicts within the key binding in other applications. Thanks!
