Twice now in the past few weeks when recording videos I have had OBS pause itself when I most definitely did not press the pause button or a hotkey for it. Both times it happened in a video that had already been paused once earlier in the video, I don't record often and I use the pause button even less so it feels like more than a coincidence that it happened under similar circumstances. I'm not sure about the first time because I thought it was a fluke accident but this second time it happened when I switched back to the game after messing around in a browser on my other monitor.
Has anybody else had this occur? It's extremely frustrating to finish a video only to find out half of it is missing. I checked the logs but they just show it as a normal pause as if I had hit the button myself. It also applies to the start/stop recording button, I think this has probably also happened to me months ago and I was confused.
edit: I figured it out, if you press the spacebar when obs is your active window and the last button you pressed was the pause button then it pauses. This is a really bad feature that definitely needs to be removed or made optional.
