| I have a problem in that anytime I get a little lazy, my input screen seems to become a bizarro input screen.
The scrollbar moves from the right side to the left. When I start my typing, it begins entering from right of the screen towards the left, etc...
And I can't think of how to undo the bloody thing! Through painful trial and error, you can reproduce the effect by being connected to a world and doing:
CTRL+Enter
CTRL+Shift
You'll see the scrollbar change sides, then start your typing. Undo doesn't undo this effect and I can't find anything in the Help files on this 'keyboard short cut'.
How can I toggle it back when this happens? | | Top |

| Okay... I figured out how to undo it. It's harder to reproduce than I thought.
My laptop has shift keys on both sides. If your input scrollbar is on the right, typing CTRL+Enter and CTRL+Shift (With the *right* shift key) will produce the effect.
When I tried to fix it, I was re-using the same keys so it failed. To move it back, you need to use CTRL+Enter and CTRL+Shift (With the *left* shift key).
I still hate this 'bug/feature' but I can live with it now that I can correct it. :) | | Top |

| | I can't reproduce that - must be a feature of your laptop. |
