It still does, if I try typing in an unlocked field (whereby the focus changes 
to the field). However, the arrow keys (which would have advanced the player 
framewise, for example) behave normally in the field, not passing the message 
to the player. But the Spacebar's pressing is picked up by the player somehow 
:-) And it starts playing. And if there are multiple players, they all pick up 
the message. This is on the latest Beta (Build 3)
