      Masta,

      Yes, I was dragging and attempting to enter my numbers.

      You are absolutely correct… a click and then a click… no dragging… brings back the green grips and I can type with the Shift Key no problem.

      Thanks very much!

        You can of course drag it if you want before clicking again, its not totally needed to absolutely not move the grip.

          Stevie, try to do it this way:

          • start dragging
          • release
          • enter the values (even using the shift key)
          • hit enter
            It woeks for me.

          BTW " is Shift 2 on my keyboard and @ is AltCtrl V (we have a lot of AltCtrl... combinations since we need 9 keys for our extra accented vowels).

          Gai...

            Gaieus,

            That works too.

            What I had been doing was single-clicking once (click and release) on a grip, dragging it out, and then typing my numbers.

            Your way… click (don’t release) drag out… then release… works.

            Figures I’d find the one way it doesn’t work first, while trying to learn the program’s features!
