Keyboard input locking/crashing GS when I put in attribute to change (any attribute)

I've been trying to get this working all day and its frustrating. I've restarted my mac, GS, I've tried it in different projects. Every time it locks up GS and all I'm trying to do is put in a simple name from the keyboard. Anyone know what's wrong? Thanks!

    So does anybody have any idea? I've reinstalled, restarted, tried different projects yet this problem persists. I really need it to go further with my games. Thanks guys/gals.

    Hmmm I have no problems with my keyboard input. Maybe you could post a link to a screenshot of your code.

    Sure I can do that, sorry for my noobness, but how do I post screenshots on this forum?

    Use a FTP site like box.net or other file sharing site and paste the full URL in the post and it will display the image. Also you might try trashing the GS app and reinstalling.

    Same problem. No answer on internet or forums, tested in two different macs. Just create an actor, rule: when touch = Keyboard input, change (or not) attribute of game "mytext", the attribute "mytext" has default value "sample text". Drag actor, play, click (On mac, not on devide) = The application not answering, just dont word, two macs tested. Version 0.10.1. Anyone has any idea what can be?

    Yeah it's a bug. If you put it on your device it should work, but it crashes Creator when you test it in preview.

    Hi @QuestionMan I reported this as a bug a while back; hopefully it'll be sorted in the next GSC beta...

    In the meantime, I found a workaround: give the attribute you're using a value, i.e a word, or even just a letter... this works for me although I must point out I use OS X 10.7.5... @FryingBaconStudio reports that this workaround doesn't work for him as he is using 10.8.2.

    Anyhow, hope it's of some help.

    I have the same problem. I tried the workaround with giving the attribute a value, but it did not work. Any other workarounds or fixes?
