New subject: Cumbersome to enter new data

Tuesday, 16 October 2007

I have now find out what the problem is. When I enter a value with the
typewriter keys in the keyboard I have no problems, but using the numeric
keypad of the keyboard (using Num Lock) I got the problems I described
earlier.

I am attaching a couple of screenshots showing the problem.

In screenshot 1, I hit "5", which result in screenshot 2, which in turn
after a few seconds changes to screenshot 3.

 I've looked into it: with the current gretl snapshot, running on XP,
 I can enter a column of numbers by typing

 value
 Enter (or down-arrow)
 value
 Enter
 value etc.

 That is, the cell that Enter moves into is ready to accept numerical
 input, as it should be.

 The cell-cursor admittedly does not immediately look like the
 editing cursor (this issue may perhaps be fixable), but it turns
 into the editing cursor as soon as I type.

 Allin.
