Suddenly can’t type next character if I mistyped the previous one. Typesy would highlights the previous mistyped character with red and when I try typing the next character nothing happen until I type the previous character correctly.

I think I found the issue. If you look at the settings ribbon you may have the ‘Require Correct Key’ setting toggled on. Turn this setting off and your issue may go away. I hope this helps you too.

Hey, thanks for the help. I just can’t find “Require Correct Key” setting. I looked everywhere inside the settings ribbon!
