Escape Key - No longer works in Editor

Good Afternoon all,

We recently came across an issue when play testing our game in Unity.
It only began after updating to 5.3 that this started occurring.

For some reason, we can no longer escape the game while playing through the editor by hitting the Esc key. Previously, you could just hit Esc and the program would exit. Now, we have to go through all this extra hassle of hitting CTRL + Alt + Del just to get our cursor back to hit stop the game from the editor window.

It’s very frustrating for us, has anyone else experienced this? Have you been able to resolve it? Please let us know, we’d like to have the ability to stop play testing by hitting the Esc Key.

The other issue we noticed with 5.3.x is that whenever there’s a scripting error the game does not play but rather pauses on play and you have to hit play twice to get it working. This has never occurred before for us until we updated to 5.3.x

Thank you.

Sounds like you have pause on error enabled in the console.
Can you submit a bug report regarding the escape key. Post the ID here.

Sure Karl, the post ID is: 767847

Note: The error pause issue was due to Error paused enabled, thank you Karl.

The Esc key however remains to not be working and am not sure what could be the cause behind it.
