Text insert-overwrite switching autonomously

Axure RP 9
1

I’ve been encountering an issue when entering text in Axure 9 whereby the editable area switches from inserting characters to overwriting them. I have to select the “Insert” key on my keyboard to reverse the switch. This is happening only in Axure.

I have:

  • enabled and disabled the Single Key Shortcuts preference setting
  • checked the Windows keyboard settings
  • reinstalled Axure

While not a major issue, it’s pretty frustrating to have to toggle the input mode every time I enter text. Any insight that addresses the issue would, consequently, be gratefully received. Axure_insert-overwrite_text_weirdness

I’ve never seen this in many years of using Axure (Axure 9.0.0.3727 and Win 10 currently.)

I recommend you send an email to support@axure.com with this info and attach a sample .rp file. They don’t monitor this forum for support (although support agents do sometimes post here.) I’ve found they respond pretty quickly to emails (which you can send from Axure via Help > Contact Support…

I’ve also run into this problem, which always pops up randomly. It’s really driving me crazy.

Axure 9.0.0.3746的版本，一样是中这样的问题，真的让人奔溃。每次修改文字，都会变成覆盖，每一次都要操作Insert来换成光标，真是太难用了

I think I’ve already found the cause of the problem. When entering the editing state, I’m used to quickly clicking the left mouse button three times in a row. However, this operation can lead to different outcomes: when the time interval between the last two clicks is extremely short, the system will enter the replacement editing mode; but if the time interval between the last two clicks is relatively long, the system will enter the insertion editing mode. In order to avoid this situation, the solution I’ve found is as follows: double-click the left mouse button first to enter the editing state, and then click once. Remember not to click the left mouse button three times in a row.

我想我已经找到问题的原因了。在进入编辑状态的时候，我习惯性地快速连按三次鼠标左键。然而，这种操作会产生不同的结果：当后两次点击之间的间隔时间非常短时，系统就会进入替换编辑模式；但要是后两次点击的时间间隔相对较长，系统则会进入插入编辑模式。为了避免出现这种情况，找到的解决办法是：先双击鼠标左键进入编辑状态，然后再单击一次就可以了，切记不要连续点击三次鼠标左键。
