[Solved] Text box edit not showing update while typing

Post by rjmnook@gmail.com »

How to I get a text box to show the altered text permanently as I type it? There's a setting or option somewhere that alters this behaviour, but I can't recall it or find it in any help. As things are set at the moment I get a brief view of the updated text before being obscured with the unedited original. Only when I select another element in the page do I see the complete altered text.

Finally found what I was looking for. F8 is active by default. For some reason I find that very hard to discover by searching.
