So, since unity 2018.3 on I had a bug where I could not type more then one letter / number in the playmaker editor window text input fields. After a single keyboard input, the playmaker editor window was not active anymore. Instead, the scene view was active.
This happened quite random and I was never able to reproduce it. It also did not happen in some projects.
Today I found the reason for that: The global variables window causes this bug. And it only happens in projects where I use playmaker.
Whenever I click into the global variable window and making it active, the above described happens. When the window is not open all works fine.
I have mostly docked the window in my layout. But when it´s free floating somewhere else and I hit play, the window even vanishes.
So, something seems to be off with the variables window. Is this a know bug or is it just me? I also happens on my other machines, by the way.
Haven´t found anything related yet so I thought I post here.
edit: Unity 2019.3.13f1 and latest playmaker version. But it happend also in older unity and playmaker versions.

I want to bump this since I too encountered it - in Unity 2018.4.23f1 / Playmaker 1.9.20.
I had global vars in a tab and actions browser in a tab. Not as a seperate window.
I was putting in the name of a state in an FSM when suddenly as I typed the word "mode", I managed to get "mo" written, but as soon as I pressed "d", the focus when to scene view and turned on whatever unity's D hotkey does.
During this I noticed the actions browser tab react to this event. Heres how it looks like on my screen:

(btw this project is in very early stages, barely started.)

Hi.
Best solution for now is to remove the Globals window.
You should also try to minimize using Globals.
To communicate with other fsms, you can use Get / Set Fsm Actions.
This is a count on our current project, it has only 14 Global Variables :)
(they are all game Object variables btw)
