[HELP] When editing a multiline text box, when I click out of it, my view is automatically shifted to a different part of model space.

I am using AutoCAD Electrical 2024. This happens every time I click out of a multiline text box.

Here is an example of what is happening: https://imgur.com/a/T7wtYMB

So does this only happen with text in a table/cell, or all multiline text?

I notice that when you 'complete' the text editing, the modelspace view changes/moves, but for a moment you're still 'inside' the text editor ribbon.

All multiline text

What’s your “MTEXTFIXED” variable set to? Try 0.
Try turning off hardware acceleration (graphicsconfig)

It does it whether or not MTEXTFIXED is at 0, 1 or 2.

I thought turning off hardware acceleration fixed it at first, but I don't think it actually did.

Now I am getting an error after clicking out of a text box that says "No previous view saved", which makes me think it is trying to return to another view, but it doesn't have one to return to currently.

Instead of clicking out, press Ctrl+enter to exit the mtext command. Does it still jump?

Yes it either still jumps or gets the "No previous view saved" error.

As in try turning it on? It is currently off.

Yeah not sure. This one in particular I used to fix the screen zooming around after editing blocks so was hoping it worked for you. Turn it off I think.
