Cannot Edit MTEXT Lists with AutoCAD Electrical 2018

Anonymous

We currently type revision notes in MTEXT blocks that use lettered lists. Before we upgraded to AutoCAD Electrical 2018, I could simply type whichever letter I wanted the list to start at, a period, then hit TAB and the auto-list would begin. However, now the only way I can get the lettered list to work is to click Bullets and Numbering > Lettered > Uppercase. This is not what I would want, since the list does not give me the option to start at anything besides "A". I need to be able to start at any letter, and would prefer to just do it the old way of typing a letter followed by a period and then pressing TAB.

 

Does anyone have the same issue or a solution? I've tried toggling Allow Bullets and Lists off an on, but have had no success.

Here is a simple trick.

Start your first line as you did before.... a letter, tab, content. But, before you hit enter for next line, leave the Mtext by clicking somewhere outside. Then go back the edit that, hit enter for next line and here it is...
