What just happened?

I noticed I couldn't find where to set a Toggle Voice key, but it looks like that has moved to Controls, which in itself isn't unusual, however the behavior of Toggle Voice seems to have changed.

It seems that anytime I have a window in a viewer active (which is a LOT of times), the toggle voice key no longer works. I have always had mine set to Left Alt. This can be the Prefs window, IM/Chat window, Inventory, pretty much anything that is a window, and active. First noticed this on a recent Firestorm Beta, so checked official viewer, where code was merged in from, and found the same problem with it.

What were you doing when it happened?

I was trying to talk to someone when I had my inventory was open, I wanted to toggle voice on to talk to them, and toggle it back off when I was done speaking.

What were you expecting to happen instead?

I expected to be able to open my mic regardless if my inventory, chat, or prefs window was open, as well as being able to toggle it off when I was done speaking (I do this so nobody has to hear my background noise when I'm not speaking).

Other information

First created this report on Firestorm JIRA as FIRE-31067, but seems it was inherited from latest SL official viewer.

Cannot repro on a Mac, testing Windows further.

I can repro on Windows with the voice toggle set as the default middle mouse button.

Any updates on this?  It's been really affecting communication.  I work in a noisy environment and can't really keep my mic open unless I am actively talking, and constantly having to fight with this when I have any window panes open, which is a lot when actively creating environments in SL.

I believe this is fixed in the upcoming G+H Maint viewer, https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/viewer/6.5.0.564805.html
