Les, that tells me it is an input issue on the offending laptop. Check your input method is the same on both. I too thought of the Insert mode toggle but that usually isn't available on a laptop with a single key. (therefore difficult to toggle it by accident) You may have a key-combo which

Thanks David. I have been thinking of removing GC via Flatpak and then reinstalling it.  Not sure it would make any difference, but can't hurt. Les On 11/12/20 2:01 PM, David Cousens wrote: Les, I have a non-flatpack version 4.2 running on Linux Mint 20 and it doesn't exhibit the same

Hi All: I recently upgraded to GC 4.2 via Flathub (on Linux Mint 19.2. It seems that if you enter an incorrect entry and attempt to backspace or delete an entry in the register, it will not allow this action.  I am able to highlight the entry and then type over it. This is not a big deal
