B2 BUG: L4 Stealing Keystrokes from other apps

I am running Ableton Live music software (with L4 also open), and I wondered why <Ctrl+Alt+B> (show file browser) wasn't working in Ableton.

It turns out that L4 steals the keystrokes even when another application has focus.

Having hit <Ctrl+Alt+B> in Live, the Copy Bible Verses window appears in L4.

This is 100% reproducible, and I'm sure it happened with a different keystroke the other day, but I didn't twig at the time.

This is by design. In Beta 3, you can change the shortcut key to "None" (use the CBV Panel Menu) if you don't want to be able to open Copy Bible Verses when in another application.
