add text

Hello  couple weeks ago the ability to add text to map stopped working unless I held mouse down while I typed with left. It's not putting a box automatically to start typing in. Ideas?

Hmm.. I just tried and couldn't duplicate this issue. What operating system and browser?  Do you have a track pad and does that work differently?  Try opening an incognito or private browser instance and see if you have the same issue.
This is a known issue in Chrome.&nbsp; See&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7445489/text-box-on-map-disappears-before-you-can-write-in-it" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7445489/text-box-on-map-disappears-before-you-can-write-in-it</a> .&nbsp; But, more visibility to the issue is good I think.
all extensions off worked. Then I started turning one on at a time and reloaded page, several different combinations I've determined the culprit was "ad-block". I don't need it anyway being a pro user. IMtranslator has also been a serious pain so I disabled that. There may be others that do not interfere if the table but this is what did not interfere. attached is a screensheet of my extensions page so you can see. You may have to zoom in. &nbsp;
Hmm.&nbsp; That's weird.&nbsp; I've already tried with all extensions off and just tried again.&nbsp; It did not solve the problem of text box disappearing.&nbsp; And if you look at the previous post about this, there are others that can duplicate this problem with all extensions off and cache cleared. Are you using Chrome?&nbsp;&nbsp;
I think that is an reported issue with Chrome. Try Firefox and see if that solves the issue?

Hello robocoastie, I have moved your report to the Bug Reports and Technical Issues forum.&nbsp; Additionally, as already stated, the devs are aware of this issue with Chrome. Unfortunately, there is not any timeframe that can be given as to when a fix will be implemented.&nbsp; As to your question about Internet Explorer, please be advised that Roll20 is only supported on Chrome and Firefox. We hope this information helps. As such, I am going to go ahead and close this thread. If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to start a new thread.&nbsp; Thanks.
