Firebox door

I've just installed and updated TS12. I noticed that in steam cab mode I can't open and close the firebox door with my mouse. When I press space bar the door opens and the coal % goes up, but the door remains open from that moment on and I can't see any way of shutting it again. Is it something so simple that I can't see it or have I got a problem?
Has anyone else experienced this?
 
Hello there, This is a known issue in the recent patching of trainz hopefully it will be fixed in the next update.
 
Try hitting the big "Space Bar" KB key again ... works on some loco's

If you have "Bing Toolbar" in Programs and Features ... uninstall Bing Toolbar from Programs and Features.

Bing Toolbar disables your PC's Ctrl+M , and possibly other KB commands

Cascade its a glitch in trainz 12 where you can't grab any cab controls and zec stated there are looking into it. That may apply in trainz 2010 but not sure as it haven't happened to me before in that version. Hey zec is the patch coming out soon to resolve these issues anytime soon?
 
All you need to do is to change the opacity of the collision box for the controls to 0.1 instead of 0.

Code:
regulator {
    mesh                                  "regulator/regulator.im"
    anim                                  "regulator/regulator.kin"
    auto-create                           1
    att                                   "a.regulator"
    att-parent                            "default"
    kind                                  "animated-lever"
    test-collisions                       0
    mousespeed                            1
  }
  regulator-collision-box {
    mesh                                  "regulator/selection_box/selection_box.im"
    att-parent                            "regulator"
    att                                   "a.sbox"
    auto-create                           1
    kind                                  "collision-proxy"
    opacity                               0.1
    collision-parent                      "regulator"
  }

Hi All
As stated earlier, this is a known issue in TS12, which we will be looking into.

You can open and close the firebox door using the '1' key on the 'numpad' on your keyboard (please make sure 'num lock' is turned on!).
