FlexiPDF 3.0.7 Win
Running in MacOS under Windows running under Parallels
When I select the Text editing tool, click-and-drag to create new text, then start typing inside the pale blue outline text box I have just created, nothing happens. I can see a black vertical-line cursor position gently flashing just inside the left end of the text box, but I just cannot seem to find a way of making my text go into it. I have tried clicking in the text box. That doesn't help. Re-sizing it works, but also doesn't help.
Since writing the above, I have also discovered that, by moving the mouse pointer around, trying various positions inside the the text box, I can find, after a few attempts, a mouse pointer position at which, when i type on the keyboard, my text DOES appear in the box. Often, I lose it and the text stops appearing, but if I move the mouse again, I can find a position that enables me to continue typing.
Please could anyone help me, what is happening here, what might I be doing wrong, is there a rule for how to make text boxes always accept text?

Re: Text entry difficulty
Thanks for your post, but FlexiPDF under parallels on Mac hardware is not supported because in such scenario keyboard hardware works differently.
You may try to reinstall FlexiPDF or install Keyboard driver for your keyboard, if possible.

Well, I can only say that FlexiPDF works here flawlessly on a Mac with Parallels Desktop, and always has, including typing text in text boxes.

Re: Text entry difficulty
Thanks Jodi. I too have not found anything that fails to work on MacOS/Parallels. Maybe I’ll try reinstalling.
