Cannot edit dimensions in sketcher any more

Dear all,

 

I am running into the strangest problem: for some reason in Creo 8.0.5.0, when I double-click a dimension in the Sketcher, I cannot edit it any more. The text input appears but disappears instantly again. Only when I am very, very fast in entering a new number, I can edit the dimension. There is no apparent reason why this happens, it started all of a sudden.

 

Running in win32_gdi-mode, and re-installing Creo did not help.

 

Has this been seen before?

Hi,

 

the problem is in the home page of the browser. You can handle this by setting the option in config.pro:

web_browser_homepage about:blank

Hi,

maybe there is a collision with another software.

Thanks for your reply, I did not find that topic during searching, it however does show the exact same issue. I changed my regional settings in Windows quite recently to have a dot as decimal separator (comma is standard here in the Netherlands), so I was quite hopeful that reverting my changes might solve the problem. Unfortunately, no luck. I also don't recall installing any software that might interfere based on keyboard events, but I'll look further.

Hi,

if Creo is installed on more than 1 computer, you can test another computer and compare software list from both computers.
