Is there a way to move the cursor to the first position in the input field when its empty. current the cursor is set to the position where it is clicked

Hi everyone,

We have the same issue.

Has this problem been solved or is a fix available?

Thanks for your answer in advance.

Maybe I don't understand the question, but... when I click an empty field in Genie it puts the cursor in the first position. I don't know if that changed since this forum post was originally made 5 years ago, but that seems to be how it works now.

Are you saying that its different for you?

Hi

I have attached 2 screenshots.

When I click with the left mouse button in an empty field, our input field is fully marked (see picture 1).

When I click with the left mouse button into the middle of the marked empty field, the cursor is positioned in the middle of the field instead of the first position.

Our goal is to always position the cursor at the first position of the empty field regardless of the clicked field position.

The empty field is defined as follows in our 5250 dds source:

A DCKNAX 15A B 3 8TEXT('SUCHBEGR.NAME')
A OVRDTA
A 70 DSPATR(RI)
A 70 DSPATR(PC)

If you have further questions, feel free to ask.

Daniel,

I am unable to reproduce the issue you describe on an empty field. It only positions in the middle on a field that already has data in it, which is the expected and correct behavior.

If you believe this to be a bug, then please file a bug report with support@profoundlogic.com -- forums are not the correct place to report bugs.

Hi

We could solve the issue:

In the "Rendering Settings" we set the Overtype Mode to "false" and then it worked perfectly.
Thank you.

Daniel

Thanks for letting us know!
