Release 54 has addressed a number of issues surrounding typing and keying in and in general it is a huge improvement on earlier releases in that respect. Thus for example I do not now experience an involuntary change of case on the second and subsequent characters when typing.

There is one small but for me rather annoying degradation. I make very extensive use of Dragon NaturallySpeaking because I am a lousy typist. The French language version which I use is bilingual, and after extensive use it has learnt my ways of using both French and English so that it makes almost no faults in transcribing my voice. DNS had been working particularly well with the most recent earlier way of inputting text. But there is a small but for me annoying degradation in release 54. If I am inputting text or editing it in a grid using DNS, the transcribed text appears on the screen. But if I then simply key enter from DNS in order to complete and confirm the text, all my changes are lost. This was not the case in release 53. What I have to do to ensure that the new text is accepted is to make a real keyboard intervention – e.g. by inputting a trailing space on item text. Then all the text, both that from DNS and the extra space, remain in the item. Can anything be done without putting at risk the improvements that have generally been made in release 54?
