This is an odd and diverting little bug.
When entering "ALT" numbers via the number keypad the number 7 causes NWC2 to close the (sub) lyric input window and return to the main lyric windows start position. When I select the lyric line tab to return to the lyric input window the ALT 7 has not inserted anything thus round and round we go and never enter diddly.
We have a number of keyboards and computers and it ONLY seems to happen on the one I really need it to work on. Of course. It is the laptop, Averatec 7100. This leaves me with the very very bad feeling that it won't be fixed.
Any assistance would be very much appreciated.
If Num Lock is off, then the 7 key on the keypad acts as a Home key, and your scenario is as expected (Alt+Home returns you to the first tab).
It may be wise to use the external, plugin numberpad if your laptop has one.
Thanks All
This is not a number key lock problem alas.
It has something to do with the keyboard map on that particular laptop says the tech guy.
The solution!!! TA DA!
We changed to another font mapped strictly to the alphabetic keys.
We have had no need to use the number keys.
We are now casting about for other excuses as to why this translation work is not finished ;)
We are once again very happy to say we love this software. If only learning to use these fonts was as easy!
