Returning to Blender from Indigo operation problems.

This may seem out of place, but I am posting this question in two topics. Here and at the Indigo site.

I am using the Blendigo script for the Indigo Renderer on windows xp with Blender 2.45.

Often times when I abort the Indigo render either by using Alt-X in Indigo's independent window or just clicking it closed, I get some hotkey problems.

Usually hitting the S key while having an object selected will enter scale mode - after exiting Indigo and returning to blender - isntead it is asking me if I want to clear the scale values. The same happens for using R to rotate. The middle mouse button stops working for zoom/pan/orbit as well. Ctrl-S and Ctrl-W do not work.

I checked all the different operating modes in blender, tried repeating the process ( which does not consistently happen ) and every other thing I know.

Is there an operating mode that I am in and a hotkey that can get me back to normal ops?

The only way I have found to fix this is to quit blender and restart it.

Sounds like you have a keyboard that is sticking when you hit the alt key.

It's not some wierd interaction within the programs, if that's what you're asking.

If I had a stuck alt key, nothing would work right. Thanks for the thought.

i get blender freezing some times after Indigo exits.. i need to press Ctrl + Alt + delete, and then close it, and it seems to fix everything.

heh, i had a same problem(with Blender 2.46)
And I found simple solution: just click on the Blender Console (this tiny second window which appears when you start Blender) and click again in Blender .

Actually Alt+Tab works too :)
