MTEXT not working correctly

RyanNH87 · February 18

Currently a 50/50 shot of MTEXT or TEXT or even TEDIT not functioning. I add a new MTEXT and it may work the first time or it may not. What's happening in almost every instance after giving the MTEXT command, i get locked into the command line instead of it leading me directly to the text box. I click on the text box to add my text and the characters are not being populated as i add text. I also cant delete text unless i highlight it and right mouse click, delete text. What seems to work occasionally is i will cancel the MTEXT command, and REGEN command to refresh the model space. This seems to work sometimes, but not all of the time. I have done some serious digging on this subject and have played with all of the solutions and nothing i do works to fix the issue. Anybody have a solution to this? I have started hand writing notes, texts, or added in PDF after printing.

Sometimes MTEXT works as intended.

What version of Bricscad is important. Never had problems.

Do you have all fonts on your machine, or some of them are located at some shared storage?

There was a problem with a text editor in V21, related to huge number of text styles in a drawing, it was corrected in V22.

I currently have V25. I am missing some fonts, but they are not default fonts and are not used.

If you set the mtext editor to use an external editor (e.g. Notepad++) does the problem still persist?

I have never used an external editor before. I've recently migrated from AutCAD.
