I see what you mean and can confirm that typing something like "\" or "(" is allowed now, but wasn't in 0.126. I believe it was part of this new CORE UI code (including the mouse navigation). |

well, while being able to enter ( could be of use (also for e.g. use in MESS), the change in the behavior of the arrows is a bit counterintuitive: digit pc (to select a pc10 game) and then move down to select the first entry, as if you don't have a mouse connected[1]... as soon as you press down the list is reordered and two items added at the top, which weren't previously there also, it is not possible anymore to press backspace to delete characters: if you do a mistake you can start from scratch pressing ESC, but you cannot delete the last letter you entered. [1] otherwise you can double click on the file you want... this new possibility is amazing!! :) |

I don't repro this here at all. Pressing the arrow keys has no effect, and backspace works fine. Are you using SDLMAME? Which arrow keys are you testing? |

I didn't get in with Arrow keys in my testing, just 'other' keys not normally associated with setnames ( or [ for example. |

> Are you using SDLMAME? yes I am (as stated in the 'Platform' field). and I can see at least 3 'strange' behaviors here: 1. start MAME with no sets. I'm prompted with a ramdom list. If now I press UP or DOWN, the list becomes alphabetically ordered (005, 10yards, etc.). 2. start MAME with no sets and start typing a title, say "ms" (with no quotes). the list appars as follows: 20pacgal, ms4plus, ms5pcb (etc.). If I press DOWN to scroll the list, the list changes to the following: 20pacgal, 800fath, cheekyms (and mslug 4 & 5 are out of the screen). Moreover, if I press any another letter key, after DOWN, the list doesn't change anymore (except if I press ESC, which resets what I typed). 3. start MAME with no sets and start typing whatever you want. Backspace doesn't work anymore and you can only press ESC to clear what you typed. I'd like to know if any of these issues are reproducible in the baseline MAME, otherwise I'll post to SDLMAME forum the issues |

32-bit Build - Windows: #1 - no, doesn't happen. #2 - no, doesn't happen #3 - no, doesn't happen. The only difference I could divine was that the available characters increased compared to 0.126, which probably isn't a bug but an enhancement to allow typing game names with non alpha characters ()[]=-/ and other similar found in gamename. I'd say it's more of a SDL issue having seen your issues listed out like that and the increased key-in ability is expected. |

thanks a lot. I'll post on the SDLMAME forum and see couriersud's opinion on the matter... |
