Carriage return broken for comments

[pallen]

I'm not sure how I did.  But now I can no longer use a carriage return in a comment.  

I've restarted LabVIEW.  I've rebooted my PC.  

But now, instead of moving to the next line when I hit retrun while typing a comment, it just closes it.  Probably not a big deal.  But I'm right in the middle of a super tight deadline, and now commenting is going to take me way longer.  

How can I fix this?

Hit ctrl-Enter. Or, There's an option under Environment to make Enter go to the next line or stop editing.  "End text entry with enter" key is hte option.

Thanks for your reply.  But that wasn't it. 

Ctrl-enter does the exact same thing as enter.  And enviroment settings are unchecked to end text entry with  enter key. 

Here's a weird one tho':  If I check that box, then ctrl-enter works to move to next line.  

I hope I don't have to re-install labview just get my default behaviour back.

Patrick,

is there a difference between the enter key and the numpad enter key?

Where are you creating those free labels (FP or BD)?

Do you have any key-locks active (numlock/capslock)?

hope this helps,

Norbert

[Edit] Since you already rebooted your PC: What happens if you use another keyboard?

Weird.

I was just going to start poking at those things.  

It looks like the Num lock was doing it.  But I'm pretty sure I've normally got the num lock on, and this didn't start up until I poked at the size to text setting this morning.  Then the behavior completely changed.

It does seem to be working now, and that's the main thing.  Thanks very much for the reply!
