In visual testing on build 6180, while the tested EA has OnChartEvent, pressing any key or mouse button fast-forwards ticks for as long as it is held — same as holding F12.
- Before 6180: pressing a key during visual testing crashed the tester.
- After 6180: no crash, but every delivered input skips ticks instead.
- Space (pause) barely works, and the other key actions don't respond.
- Without OnChartEvent in the EA, nothing is forwarded — behavior is normal.
So it's tied to chart-event delivery.
I understand the 6180 fix removed the runtime error, but this makes visual testing with OnChartEvent-based EAs unusable.
Is there any workaround for this? (short of removing OnChartEvent entirely)
