Line Item Text Selection Issue - Major Annoyance, PLEASE FIX!!!
Anyone else have issues with this?
When I first starting using QuickBooks 3 years ago the text selection/edit was just like any other text editing app like word or any text entry box on any web site on the internet. However, at some point through gazillion changes and, uhhmm, "improvements" the text boxes no longer behave line any normal text entry.
Normally when you place your mouse pointer on text and click it places the curser wherever you clicked. Like in the middle of a word and you can start typing right there to add a letter or delete. Or you could select a word or section and it will highlight that portion. But QuickBooks, at least on my end, no longer works like that. When you click text on a line item description, to drop your curser into text or highlight a section it acts like its going to do that, but then, it automatically selects all the text in the box. So if you were going to add a letter to a word or delete just a sentence it deletes your entire description and then you have to ctrl z, and finagle with it to make it do what you need it to.
This seems like a minor annoyance to complain about but on something like this, an absolutely standard universal text editing behavior on every other app or website on the planet, to expect users to adapt a behavior that is completely decades of muscle memory just because QuickBooks wants to make one text entry box behave differently than all others is crazy. (The bill to and ship to text boxes on the same form behave completely normal.) And the amount of time over-all since this change took place that I have spent to ctrl z and finagle the stupid thing every time I edit is enough to drive someone insane!
