AutoCAD properties box

AutoCAD properties box

AutoCAD properties box

(OP)
When selecting an item (such as text)then right mouse click and obtain the properties dialog box.
I then click, in say, the text height to change my text height but after second ot two the box is no longer active.
So I begin typing (while looking at my keyboard) then look at the dialog box once I am done typing and find that it only accepted 2. instead of 2.125 because it became inactive.

This holds true for changing text within that dialog box.
Can someone tell me if there is a "Timeout" setting I can toggle or answer why the dialog box only gives you a second to make a change?
This is very frustrating and slows me down because I think I am typing what I need only to find out it didn't take all of my information.

Thanks in advance

RE: AutoCAD properties box

I believe this is a bug in 2004.  I don't know if there was ever a fix or not, but I had to make my self get used to selecting a field to change, then wait a second to make sure it takes, and reselect again if needed.  It's annoying, but I guess it's better than retyping what I just typed!
