    Seriously frustrating bug: With no discernable cause, the text fields in world editor spontaneously enter a mode where the cursor moves to the left of the field, and cannot be placed at the end of a string. The result is that anything I type ends up backwards.

    The only way I've found to solve this is to exit world editor, then exit the game.

    This sounds quite weird. By any chance, is your Home key getting stuck? Or are you pressing it before editing text in the editor?

    I'm wondering if it's an errant keystroke. I know that occasionally the left rotation will get stuck while I'm navigating, and I have to hit the NumPad 4 again to un-stick it. I've verified that I don't have the Sitcky Keys shortcut turned on, but I also saw settings for Toggle Keys and Filter Keys (WTF, Microsoft, just let me use my #$^%& keyboard!). I've got their keyboard shortcuts turned off too, so we'll see if that makes a difference.

    Those keyboard shortcuts are really a pain..
    If I have to spam Shift to sprint in a game, Call of Duty for eg, boom, stick keys notifications. Like sheesh.
    Yeah, best to turn all that off lmao
