Hi - Not sure how to search for this problem:

 

In sketch > Draw a center point circle> click to place center point and drag a short distance to make the numeric input entry popup appear> type my dimension> enter to finish the circle

 

This leaves me with a circle with the dimension where i left the pointer, not the number I entered.

Occasionally it will work correctly, but this is unpredictable.

 

I have also had this happen on a center point rectangle> click to place center> drag>type dimension in first side>tab(side resizes to the entered dimension)>type second side dimension>enter (second side ignores entered dimension and uses pointer position instead)...

 

This was not a problem previously

 

PS I can change the dimension after, but this is not efficient

This is a known problem for Windows 7 users, 

there is a fix for those people,  Search Win 7 compatibility mode.

 

but if not Win 7 that is a new problem to tackle.

 

Might help....

I see this is a problem on windows 7 but I got Windows 10 and am having the same issue, the manual input from keyboard when making sketches is getting ignored. I make a circle 3.2 mm and press tab to lock it in and it ignores it, sometimes I put a number in and it keeps erasing it, or it will ignore it and just take where my pointer is on the screen. I have to remake a line/circle/square 3 or 4 times to make it work. Really tedious and very annoying bug.
