Hi there folks. I've asked on the FG Discord and was told to come here by Zacchaeus. I'm having an issue of when I type things into my NPC window, not touching my mouse at all, the cursor will auto-highlight and delete randomly whatever I've been typing. I've done the following:

*Checked Video Card: Up to Date as of today.
*Checked Windows Graphics Settings: Are what they should be after a small issue yesterday setting me from 32 to 16 bit color, no change on this issue.
*Rebooted FG.
*Verified Files in Steam.
*Rebooted PC.

I was having this issue when running Xsplit to stream on Twitch, and I got some video showing what exactly I mean which I will link below. I ruled out that even if I shut off stream and Xsplit, reboot and try again, it still occurs. So it's not only occurring when Xsplit is running.

I'm running: Win7, while running Discord and Chrome and Spotify all at the same time, if that matters on a dual monitor setup, but I imagine I'm not the only person running several basic programs checking SRD, and with discord and music running.

Has anyone had this issue before? Is there a fix I should try? What should be taking me a 20 minute build per unique NPC statblock is doubling my time due to these issues. :/

The highlighting is due to the mouse cursor being present over those fields, and highlighting a valid roll as you enter it. After clicking in the field, move the mouse cursor away from the field, then type in the data.

Odd, I just absolutely missed that. Also, never got a notice about the reply, so thanks for replying and noticing that. So, it's designed to essentially create more work for the user while inputting data into fields *or* force them to use Tab and go through each field successively. Noted.

It's not designed to create more work, it's action parsing of the string which makes it usable in automation. Just move the mouse away slightly after clicking in the box.
