text entry in PI11 dialogs invokes keyboard shortcuts

[Eupher]

I've seen this alluded to in some other threads but haven't seen a satisfactory solution or work-around. In particular, I'm trying to enter text into the Alt Text and Status Bar fields of the Image Map builder. Unfortunately, Shift+C and Shift+V invoke the respective keyboard shortcuts (Enhance Image and View Ruler) instead of the desired text. I tried changing my workspace views as suggested in the other threads, but so far nothing has worked. Of course, I can create the desired text in another app, then cut and paste, but this seems awfully clumsy.

Currently running PI11 on a Win2K Advanced Server box (yes, I know I shouldn't be running client apps on a server, it's just a member file server, not a domain controller); it's a 2.4 gHz Pentium 4 with 512 MB RAM.

Thanks for any help.

This is a known bug in PI 11 although I didn't have this problem on my machine. Not sure if the patch addressed or fixed this. Did you download and install the SP1 patch for PI 11?

Eupher,

Are you trying to copy and paste text? If so shouldn't the shortcut keys be the typical CTL + C, (copy) CTL + V (paste)?

I just read your post and that's the first thing that jumps out at me, is the similarity to those...

Heinz-Oz, thanks for the info. I installed SP1 but it didn't correct the behavior.

vidoman, copying and pasting isn't the issue. The issue is that, in certain dialog boxes or attribute fields that are meant for entering text, certain key combinations invoke the associated menu shortcut instead of the desired text. For instance, if I try to type "Current Vacancies" in one of the attribute fields in the Image Map builder, I cannot type an uppercase "C" with the normal Shift+C keystroke because instead of simply entering the typed character, it invokes the Shift+C menu shortcut (Enhance Image).

Thanks to both for the input.
