Hi Guys,

I’ve enabled dictation in settings and assigned the Control key (double-click) as a shortcut. Whenever I double-click the control key dictation starts and after a while it times out on its own. This isn’t an issue, but after it times out I can’t immediately enable it again by clicking the control key. I have to either close the window or click somewhere else. I’ve tried various combinations and permutations but it always seems to take a while to get enabled. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
