Octane node editor not responding to keyboard when active

Hi I'm having an issue with the Octane node editor and I believe it is a bug with the new version of C4D which was just released.

I cannot use keyboard shortcuts or type when the node editor is the active window it just initiates the shortcut within C4D itself. So I basically cannot delete nodes with delete key or type to find nodes.

Just showing steps me trying to delete a node and search for a node with the context menu, pressing 'O' shows how it just frames the cube even though the node editor is the active window.

Cinema4D 2025.3 has a regression we are aware of. We found a temporary workaround and will be releasing a fix from our side soon. Until then, we advice to use C4D 2025.2
