Text Overwriting/Cursor Jumping

Victor-P wrote on 5/23/2020, 8:31 PM

I apologize in advance if this is an issue that has been reported before/is reported frequently, but I've looked for a while now and can't seem to find anything about this issue/what it would be called for easier searching.

I assume I must have hit a hotkey on accident or something and the result is seriously frustrating.

I'm editing and animating text so that I can use one text media to transcribe a full clip's worth of audio and will be doing this for multiple clips throughout my project. This was working just fine until, at some point, the issue appeared. Now, whenever I type and my cursor is anywhere BUT the end of the line of text, it will input the letter then the cursor will jump to the end of the line. No matter what I've tried, including even restarting the program/my computer, I can't seem to find a fix. Editing non-animated text media seems to work just fine but I can't find anything about this and the only workaround for me at the moment appears to just be dealing with it. :(

Any help would be really appreciated, thank you!

I know this sounds like a silly question, but which text plugin?

And which Vegas Pro 17 build number?

Nothing is silly, I'll take any help I can get. I'm sure it's SUCH a simple mistake on my end and I can't seem to remedy it.

Version 17 build 284. I'm not 100% sure what you mean by which plugin, I'm just generating text media on an empty video track within vegas. I guess Vegas Titles & Text?

Well, when you know for sure, let us know. We wouldn't want to troubleshoot your Chevy when the problem is with your Ford. Also, what kind of mouse/touchpad?

Oh I think there's a miscommunication. I mean the cursor that highlights where you're typing, not my mouse. Maybe I used the wrong terminology? But yeah I meant the indicator of where you're typing.
