MDI child window doesn't react to global value when not in focus

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

    I'm working on an MDI application, and I've run into a little problem.

    Here are the simple events:
    1. In the parent window, when F6 is pressed, set Global Value A to 1.
    2. In the child window, when Global Value A is 1, set string to "QWERTY."

    The issue is that the child window does not respond when I press F6, unless it is in focus. If I press F6 when the child window is not in focus, then the text won't change to "QWERTY" until it is in focus.

    I have enabled the option to share global values. In fact, the same thing happens with the Named Variable and Associative Array objects. This problem only occurs with windows, and not docked frames.

    So... what's wrong and how can I fix it? :)

    Thanks!
