!!!! BUG ALERT - SKETCHUP 2023 !!!!
I've just identified an issue with the Foundation plugin and the current release of SU 2023.
Many of the tools within the Truss plugin still use the UI.inputbox module for simple menus, see example below:
If you notice that this type of menu appears (not an HTML menu) then press Alt-Tab which will then require you to refocus on the menu with your mouse and will also allow it to function correctly (unfreezes the menu).
I don't know all of the details however it appears that the backend framework has extensively changed and in the process a few focus bugs have slipped through and need to be ironed out with SU 2023. See status and more details at the thread below:
https://forums.sketchup.com/t/sketchup-2023-changes-to-ui-inputbox-focus/220580
For now I would recommend staying with SU 2022 if you extensively use SketchUp combined with the Truss and Foundation plugins. However the alt-tab work around should also keep you up and running if you have already migrated to SU 2023.
I am hoping that minor update will be forthcoming in the near future from SketchUp, which will save me from having to rewrite a significant amount of code and pull me away from the Floor plugin development. If the bug is not fixed I will proceed to switch all remaining menus in the Truss and Foundation plugins to HTML dialog type menus, that process could take upwards of two to three weeks.
