Leader text when typing

Is there a setting controlling typed text visibility in the command line when using a leader?  In 2004, text would show in the command line as it was typed.  Now, to see what I am typing, I have to enter the leader dialogue box.

LEADER, QLEADER or MLEADER command? You seem to be describing the latter but wanting one of the first two... .

QLEADER

1. Turn off DYNMODE and you get ADT2004 behavior.

2. Keep DYNMODE on and MTEXT is displayed at the cursor when you start typing after you finished selecting your last point; it's not in a MTEXT editor.

3. Keep DYNMODE on and hit <enter> when prompted at the Mtext entry at the command line and you get the MTEXT editor: just like ADT2004 I believe but it's been so long that's really no longer relevant unless you are only in ADT2005.

None of those worked, Dean. 

 

Attached are images of the command at the same step.  The 2004 image shows the text.  The 2013 image does not show the text.

 

I run DYNMODE on 0, but for this particular item, it doesnt make a difference if I am in 0, 1, or 2.

2013 screenshot attached, works as I wrote previously.

So what are your QLEADER settings?

I seems that it is an issue with a lisp routine I have running, not with the command itself.  If I run QLEADER natively, I see what you see, Dean.  If I run my routine, which basically sets a temp osnap and a temp layer, I lose text input.

 

I looks like I am off to the customization group to troubleshoot.  Thanks for your help, Dean.
