Something has gone wrong with my text tool. When I select it and place the cursor and start to type, I only get one character before the text tool turns off. I then have to click the tool again to type the next character after which the tool turns off again. And so on...


Don't know what's gone wrong. I tried uninstall and reinstalling TrueSpace but no difference. Anyone got any ideas?

Aha, the old text tool problem.


Simple answer: turn the bridge off or use workspace but don't use text tool in model side with the bridge on.


I thought this was documented in the manual but maybe not. I nearly forgot about this myself when the same happened to me last week...:D


Just a tip Paul, uninstalling/reinstalling is usually a last resort. If you have any problems try holding CTRL when launching tS and choose default configuration. If that fails then try deleting default.ctx. I have had many problems but never had to uninstall yet.


Good luck.
