SHIFT left mouse click drag doesn’t work on my Mac

[jim]

In Adobe Indesign CC 2019 I’m using these keyboard/mouse shortcuts:

-SHIFT-mouse left click/drag = keeps the bounding box proportional as I drag it

-CMD-SHIFT-mouse left click/drag = stretches the object in the bounding box proportionally as I drag it

When I connect to my Mac with NoMachine I had to check “Grab the keyboard input” to get my CMD key working.  However even with this enabled neither of the SHIFT/mouse shortcuts listed above work. If I leave the on-screen keyboard up I can see that my SHIFT and CMD keys are recognized by the server, but when I drag with my mouse it behaves as if they weren’t depressed/active.

Any ideas on how I can get this working?

Hi,

we are currently investigating your issue. In the meanwhile could you try to edit NoMachine option file:/Applications/NoMachine.app/Contents/Frameworks/etc/node.cfg add below line, then restart server and let us know if that changed anything?

DisplayServerExtraOptions "-oldeventapi 1"

That worked!  It all works correctly now, thanks!
