Alfred toggled but didn't respond to my input

[Boxer]

* What you were doing when the issue happened

Toggled Alfred.

* Whether you were able to replicate it a second time by performing the same action

No, it happens occasionally, about 1~3 times per day.

* Include any screenshots that might help us

Sorry, there was no helpful screenshots.

It appeared just as usual, but without cursor, and didn't respond while I was typing.

And the cpu (≤ 3.5%) and memory (≤ 40MB) usage seemed to be quit normal. 

* Include the Alfred version & build number you are using

Alfred 4.0.7

Build 1131, Tuesday 17th December 2019

* Include your OS X version

10.15.2 (19C57)

@Boxer this sounds like a hotkey conflict. Try a different hotkey for Alfred, or if you're using cmd+space, take a look at the 3 things on this page:

Hi, Andrew, Thanks for reply.

 I guess it's not caused by hotkey conflict. 

I set the hotkey to Ctrl+Space. I can toggle Alfred successfully every time, but occasionally it showed up without blinking cursor and didn't accept my input.

And I had to quit and relaunch it. (retoggle didn't work)

@Boxer This sounds unusual. Could you try setting Alfred's focus compatibility mode in Alfred Preference's > Appearance > Options > Focusing > Compatibility Mode. There could be something installed on your user profile which is preventing the floating window from accepting input.
