Fusion 360 sketch mode does not accept numerical input from keyboard

Hi Folks

Recently Fusion 360 has started behaving strangely in sketch mode.  When I create a rectangle for instance, I select the tool, click on a start point, drag out to create the rectangle with arbitrary dimensions, one of which is highlighted.  I can enter my desired value from keyboard, hit Tab, the value is accepted, the rectangle changes size to the entered value and the highlight moves to the next dimension.  All so far so good.  I type a desired dimension in the next box, hit Enter and the rectangle simply reverts to the original arbitrary dimension.  Similar problem with circles and arcs.

I thought maybe my bluetooth keyboard was creating some glitch but I now have a hardwired USB keyboard plugged directly into the laptop.  I'm using a Toshiba laptop with Windows 7.  Not exactly up to date system but it has been working fine for the last 12 months.

Am I doing something really dumb or is the software corrupted?

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks & Regards

Windows 7 is no longer being supported and this is a known problem, and you will have to work around, it will not be fixed.

Many thanks.  Is there a reason this has only just started happening?  Can I reverse recent software upgrades?

Something changed on one of the last updates and since they don't check Win 7 anymore it happened. You can't go to a previous version in Fusion, everyone's version has to be the same.
