Game Focus Overrides Global Hotkeys

[Raelcun]

Hi, I'm having a rather strange issue with Mark of the Ninja. I've been working on speedrunning New Game+ (current time 48:35) and I am unable to use the timer program that I normally would. When the window focus is on Mark of the Ninja it overrides any other global hotkeys on the system including the timer. This also includes hotkeys to change scenes in xsplit or other streaming hotkeys. This is a particularly annoying issue that requires me to have to click off the game in order to activate any hotkeys for other programs I have running. Is there a working solution to this?
