    Default when inserting a block with multiline attribute, text window pops up

    Hello,

    My problem is that when I insert a block which contains a multi-line attribute (attreq=1), as soon as I need to fill in the value for the attribute, the AutoCAD Text Window pops up, just like it would had I pressed F2.

    I find this pretty annoying... but cannot find a way to prevent this...
    anyone got any idea where to look?

    Do you normally have the command line hidden, floating or docked? I think I had a problem like that in 06 when I tried hiding the command line.

    Docked..

    The problem is only occurring when the value for multiline attributes has to be entered. Ordinary' attributes behave in the same way they always did.

    Weird... Is a reinstall an option? It sounds like something got itself wired backwards there.

    Cool. Be sure to post the results. I'd love to know what's going on here. By the way, have you tried opening this drawings on other machines? Maybe it's not just your's.

    Same thing is happening on another autoCAD 2008 install...

    as soon as i turn attdef to 1, the text windows won't popup, but then i get then dialog box....
    and that's not what i want.

    Is anyone able te reproduce my error on his own AutoCAD 2008?
