basic features like CTRLl+C won't work; even after 2014 upgrade

Anonymous — Wed, 04 Feb 2015 08:39:05 GMT

hey guys, can't remember when this happened, if it happened all at once or i just noticed over a period of time, anyways about 2 weeks ago using 2013 the following happened

Traditional Ctrl+C/P copy and paste doesn’t work

Double clicking on text doesn’t work

Editing a block doesn’t work

Selection+commands work in a strange way

for example i can't click on an item then type my command

i have to type my command (erase) then click the item, and then press enter

back space / delete doesn't work

my brain is getting to the point it doesn't work after all this

what i have tried:

i had to ask my company if i could re-install 2013, i installed 2014 as we thought this might sort it, turns out the exact same problems is happening in 2014 as it does in 2013, so lol wtf ???

before i uninstall 2013 i wanna see what people could suggest on how do i get all those basic features back ?

Type PICKFIRST and set it to 1.

You can also set it from OPTIONS - Selection and check Noun/Verb selection.
