For years I have used Esc key to close a window in the Notes client.
In Notes 6.0 (on W2K) I often find that Esc does not close the window – nothing happens.
Some of the times it seems to be related to the cursor having focus on a document listed in an embedded view of the current UI document, but at other times I see no particular reason why it doesn’t work.
Has anybody else noticed the same tendency?
Subject: When there’s no escape…
I realise this was posted some time ago but I’m actually running into this same issue on a 6.54 environment (not sure if it’s this occurs as well on previous versions). Did you ever find a solution or a workaround? Given that I’m in such a habit of pressing the Esc key to close, I find it frustrating to click it twice: once to change the focus from the embedded view to the form and the second time to close the form. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In case it may be of any use to anyone…
I found that if a richtext field in a cell in a tabbled table contains the string http://…’ then unless focus is on that tab/row of the table the escape key causes a bell to ring and it doesn’t exit the doc. If focus is on that tab escape works as normal !!!

I experienced such problems quite some time ago in R5. Typing Ctrl-W did always work, but Esc sometimes didn’t.
I never found a reason or a solution.

i have the same problem… CTRl+W is working all the time (such as IE and opera) but escape doesn’t work, i noticed that when the focus isn’t on the main windows (like in a list for example) it’s not working… try to click elsewhere and then type escape…

I have seen this only when using IE within N6. I haven’t seen it when using Notes DB’s.

I’ve encountered it too but I can’t remember the circumstances by which it occurred.
