    <description>&lt;P&gt;I just keep hoping this bug will get fixed, but with each release it persists.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Currently, if you have text on a view, when you click into it to edit, it more often than not, does nothing when you start to type.&amp;nbsp; It's sooooo irritating.&amp;nbsp; I don't remember what release started doing this, but it wasn't always like this.&amp;nbsp; Editing a text box is a very basic action that should work seamlessly.&amp;nbsp; I can't tell you how may times a day I start typing to find that I have to retype because of this glitch.&amp;nbsp; I know, you would think I would learn after a couple hundred times of doing this, but it still gets me a couple times a day.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yep, this error came in version 2017 as part of an improvement.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Also waiting for them to fix this. Also they should add the text aligment tools when you are inside of editing a text.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yep, this is really irritating. Disappointing that what is essentially a bug-fix is still a user-requested 'feature' several versions on.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;What is more irritating??? The text box before 2017 where it reformatted based on zoom level (took 9 years to fix this) or the new editor where you type in limbo?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I think it is the part where Revit doesn't know how to do text editing and needs to figure out a work around within their own software.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I find that when you click on a piece of text to edit it, if you leave your cursor over top the text element you can edit it just fine.&amp;nbsp; If you click it and move the cursor off the element, you can't edit it unless you move the cursor back over it.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2958894"&gt;@chenderson&lt;/a&gt;is correct, if you want it to work, you have to keep the mouse over the text box your editing... too bad I developed a habit over the years of letting go of my mouse so that I can type with both hands.&amp;nbsp; Actually, I do have a habit of moving the cursor off of the text box so I can better see what I am typing, so I have a 100% failure at editing text in Revit unless I make a conscious effort not to move the mouse.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yes why isn't this fixed, very annoying. Make this simple update before any other, text is something that is used more than any other command.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I've been watching for it today and its happened about 5 times.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I installed a screen recorder (OBS) and a software to display keystrokes but I haven't managed to have the issue while recording.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Edit: I just saw Revit is on version 2021 and I'm still running Revit 2020.2.&amp;nbsp; Perhaps this was fixed in Revit 2021??? Hopefully someone else can confirm.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I've found a way to reliably reproduce the issue.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Reproducible by moving mouse to edge of screen/window after selecting text to edit.&amp;nbsp; Happens most reliably by swiping text to select and continuing to hold the mouse all the way to the edge of the screen.&amp;nbsp; It can also happen without selecting text and just placing the cursor and quickly moving mouse to screen edge, but this is much less consistent.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm not sure if other elements of the Revit/Windows UI can also cause the issue like the window/screen edge.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Revit still has Windows' focus throughout; tapping backspace gets Revit back to proper operation and allows entering text without moving or clicking the mouse.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Video link below.&amp;nbsp; Enjoy!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://youtu.be/-UuQqrqM5x0" target="_blank"&gt;https://youtu.be/-UuQqrqM5x0&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for recording it! Unfortunately I cannot reproduce it either at Revit 2020.2 and Revit 2021 by following the same steps. But I will still show the video to the developers and see if we could find some way to resolve it.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Here we are, 4-5 years since this issue started appearing in Revit, and it still persists. About half the time I click into a text box and start typing....nothing happens. I have to click out of the text box and click back in...sometimes this fixes it. For the lonely moderator that sometimes looks at these forums, here is what I have noticed.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;This issue happens for existing text boxes. If I make a new one, I can type freely. If I modify an existing one, there is about a 40-50% chance that I type and nothing happens&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;This issue mostly happens when typing at the beginning of an existing text box. A small hack is I will position my cursor right behind the first character in the text box, and then I can start typing. I then have to delete the left over text I don't want.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;Please, please, please try to fix this glitch. And while you are at it, allow for setting the orientation of the text outside and inside of the text editor.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you&lt;/P&gt;</description>
